Thanks much Sam Smith! I understand we are unaware of all the particulars of each new franchise situation and that is why I just sit back allow Roger and Ben and all subsidiaries of Amfil to do their jobs. As shareholders, imho, we need to have faith that they are doing what is best for all of us. So I am very reluctant to criticise our management, especially when the company is growing tremendously! I'm still very pleased with our growth.
But all of us have ideas in our minds on what the timing should be for each and every event or situation. Some express it very forcefully and with anger when "their" timeline isn't met. I much prefer just letting every event come to us by PR's, instead of complaining, which doesn't change the timing anyway.
Overall, I'm thrilled with how the company is doing!! I am as I mentioned disappointed in the inability of finding locations for both Canadian Franchises, but, if the deals are still solid with the franchisees, I have no reason to think they won't be happening even though not in my estimated timeframe.
I think we'd have a lot more enjoyable board if fewer people were aggressively commenting about all their disappointments relentlessly. Personally, if I was any one of those people, I would have sold AMFE months ago, because of being angry and or very unhappy with the company's progress. But that's just me.
Best to you Sam Smith and all of us truly long in AMFE!! tuna
