When DR started I was happy to see a new CEO. I said later he was not my kind of guy and considered selling. Yet again I didn't listen to my instinct as there was little to base it on other than a feeling. At the time there was a lot of David this and David that on these threads. I found that irritating as these people are not our friends. (As a side note, hostage negotiators try to get hostage takers to use their captives names, as this tends to get them better treatment and it is harder to kill someone if they are not anonymous).
Like most here I was pleased to get batteries back in focus and it made sense to me to tighten the purse strings.
For most of us EVs were the holy grail and I knew that this would take a long time.
Yet again though I was put off by DR sticking to his NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS. The only time this is ever used, is to hide information and on rare occasions that is legitimate, DR took this to the extreme imo and continues to do so. Many of us constantly shared our displeasure about the lack of marketing to the market to no avail.
This lead to a falling share price and then the incompetent raises and whispers of secret discussions with top 20 holders. My previous view of DR fell even further.
The AGM meeting left many of us thinking DR to be arrogant and lacking insight.
I puzzled over the expressions on the faces at the AGM of our leaders ever since. They seemed genuinely shocked that the ungrateful hordes were unhappy. WHY?
My best case scenario is that the tech is the real deal and they were doing all they can to keep us going until a deal was struck, so were shocked at our lack of appreciation.
Could they really not get' it's the share price stupid'! Or is there anything to the conspiracy sounding posts? I have one of my own, but as they are not bankers I'm hoping they are just conservative and lack the Hotspur to communicate effectively.
Our German boys showed them how it's done. So if they can't cook... they should hire a chef, it would cost us a lot less than the financial advice they've been getting.
Their business is to sell our products but to do that they need to sell the business. Even if a deal dropped tomorrow, we need them to change or be changed.
