I'd agree with your last statement DJ. More experience promoting for certain and administration within the market in general. Yet with all those decades in management, transparency is no better than a curse with this crowd.
Not just Balkin. All I have heard from Chanmugan is parroting the company vibe, damn near scripted, positive but redacted and carefully manicured one liners. Gonyer is downright muzzled as he does Yeoman work with finances as he should be in fairness. The Worldsensing contingent? TBH I can't remember his name. Believe it started with an I but don't quote me.
AFFU blatantly predicted over* $4,000,000.00 in revenue for 2025 which is nearly half over. Mum's the word. Balkin might be watching the Italian Open Tennis for all we know. The "information" spotlight has been trained on Francesc Domingo which plays into the narrative Domingo is earmarked for the CEO position. But apart from that skilled puppetry no one knows for certain who will be the CEO.
On top of this AFFU's lips are sealed in the most bullish cycle of the year. Spring has hatched some real movers, but AFFU shareholders are being treated as gargoyles on the castle walls. They're not being informed just hinted at.
Something is clearly WRONG with this RM. 6 WEEKS ON and not one management member is talking about the MERGER per se except feel good hopium. It's all smoke and mirrors. How can ANYONE in there right mind interpret that as a good sign?
