Well there are three things that concern me in that text. First he says "No word" which I suppose means that EMWW is not informing him about whats going on regarding the pr and maybe other more important things.
Second, he advises you to do what you feel is right with your money, which means he has no idea whats going to happen with all of this, he has no confidence as he doesn't even own stock.
Third, he says "I'm told everything is still a go", so hes implying that everything could actually be cancelled, he has no confidence on the deal.
