Fane clearly has only a very limited understanding or appreciation of what the VertiCrop is or how it operates and an even lower realisation of how important the pioneering work undertaken by Paignton Zoo has been in gaining credibility for the VertiCrop and publicity for Valcent.
He appreared as unprepared, unscripted and amateurish which as the CEO of Valcent, should not have happened. One would think that the mdeia people advising Valcent would have learned the lessons from Fane's disasterous performance during the Vertical Farming Webinar earlier in the year.
Any professional undertaking a similar presentation would have been practised until they were word perfect and able to put across the crtical points within the 90 seconds allocated and been capable of addressing all questions raised. It is no wonder that Valcent struggle to find serious investment funding when they are led by such a person!
Fane's performance reflects badly on the emerging vertical growing and urban farming industry and one can only hope that he is not seen as a serious representative of this developing and expanding sector. We all know that others in the industry present a professional and polished, credible overview, of an industry that is becoming increasingly important on the world stage. Serious investors need to be aware that there are companies out there who are serious about urban food production and can deliver what is promised.
It is clear that Valcent do not have credible answers for the vertical growing sector and hopefully, serious investors will see this and not waste more investment in a business that would seem unable to deliver anything.
The Valcent opertions in the UK are apparently virtually shut down with the personnel either resigned, fired or made reduntant. David Dicks was removed from the Management Team on the Valcent EU website some time ago and has not been replaced.
Perhaps the people now leading the company are not much better that those they replaced and are keeping their own money in their pockets whilst trying to get gullible investors to part with theirs? Is it not time to put up or shut up?
You have hit the nail squarely on the head when you suggest that the objective of Valcent is to hype up the share price, make a few cents per share and wait for it to fall again - history repeats itself again and again.
We investors have been taken for a ride and for me, it is the end of the journey.
