Staying quiet is better than making promises he cant keep and have it thrown in his face. I would rather him stay quiet no promises and then if any concrete executed news of a deal, bring that to market.
In the past, many including myself have been let down but him saying something with enthusiasm then in the end let down. The credibility overhang is like a dark storm cloud and is holding back the company and the stock, keep your mouth shut Tony, I think your working on your goals so lets see what if anything you bring to the table.
This I will say, look at where the stock is and currently nothing on the table so it looks dead, thats a reflection of the current stock price. This is why some people sell and then others buy.
Lets see what happens in the end.
