You have a very valid point there Wick. Come to think of it Wick, there's brilliant management that really just lack basic personable skills.
Strategically, JF may be the best man for the job. However, public speaking is another manner. I noticed a big difference between the way JF and Chip answered questions. Even when Chip disagreed, he verbalized his points in a manner that made you think it was in the best overall interest of the company. I could tell that he had either sales or public speaking skills.
I'm wodering how differently yesterday might have resulted if it was just Chip answering the questions. Maybe have JF just give a brief synopsis of the direction in which the company was heading and then turned the mic over to Chip to handle answering questions and dealing with investor attacks.
