So the analyst is berating shareholder's for reporting that a management presentation was substandard. That's the thing about the internet, stuff like this get's out. Remind's me of Walsh and Felderhoff with Bre-X after an annual meeting people were running to sell their shares. Same thing after a meeting with a mutual fund manager in the U.S. One meeting with Walsh and he dumped all their Bre-X holdings. Left a 100 million dollar's on the table in lost profit's. Professional management does matter when it comes to selling the company to the people with big money. ie. mutual/pension funds. If the company is deficient in this area then they should rectify it. Sooner then later.

This investor did not go to the Vancouver show expecting, or hoping, for a slick promotional performance from Gerry, and I especially didn't go expecting that type of thing to give me a quick trade.

I did go to the show expecting to learn more about the company and I was hoping Gerry might announce something we hadn't yet heard. Once there, and I saw the format of these CEO hotseats, I expected to at least get a good overview of the company, what they do, what they sell, irons in the fire, etc. - basic info. Didn't get that, and all I did was report my personal impressions of the event, and from emails received, others that were there share my views.

I think maybe Laurel is confused - did someone here mention that AFS needs someone to else to market their products? I think not. I do think it has been suggested that they need someone who can better market the company to investors though.

AFS decided to go to the show. Why????
