I agree. I still find it a benefit, though, rather than a problem, that they DO tend to focus on the business of getting things done, like they said they would, more than they focus on the business of generating fluff PR about many things other than the fact of going about getting things done.
The management here know what they are doing... and they are going about doing it the way it should be done. That is what you get as the takeaway message from a close look at what the approach they have means, I think. If you want your hand held with a steady stream of upbeat PR fluff... I don't think that is ever going to happen here. I expect that is because they aren't really all that interested in pumping the stock, or investors expectations, in the short term just to help out some few short term traders... and are more than willing to allow the value their effort does create to be recognized in the time it takes for it to be recognized. The approach is one that appeals to investors... who value solid management and that longer term focus... more than traders... who likely won't.
Still, it will be nice when we do get to hear about the results of their current efforts, and it will be nice when we get to see that sort of news of results more and more often, with the impact of acceleration in the pace that successes in the current and next few rounds will enable. Things HAVE moved more or less like molasses here for a while... the pace in PR reflects that correctly... and minding the knitting really well while executing the plan perfectly just isn't all that great as a source for generating big sexy news that traders love.
They had the right plan for last year, and still have the right plan from here. I haven't been expecting the plan they have will pay off before it can... but, I do expect it will pay off in the time it should... with that time beginning pretty soon, right about now.
