Elementary

Was expecting today some news from BU to push and promote the stock and give awareness to NASDAQ new public and market. Nothing.

They fail to do an elementary job. of PR. Results: -3.2%, poor volume.

1. They have nothing positive to say  2. Management has no idea about PR and IR 
Comment by AntiSummer2021 on May 25, 2021 12:40pm
Summer001, yes management has nothing to say to you !!! For the rest this is the calm before the storm....
Comment by Summer001 on May 25, 2021 1:55pm
Low turnover and minus 10% is certainly a good start on the first trading day at the Nasdaq. Management has done its job well. 
Comment by imartin on May 25, 2021 12:58pm
While I as a shareholder of course want management to also care about shareholder value, I don't think BU would invest their time well if they'd focus on "pushing and promoting" the stock. While I agree that PR doesn't seem to be their biggest strength, on the other hand I am rather happy that they don't artificially try to push the stock price up. They seem to have ...more

TO IMATIN:  From 5.92$ down to 4.38$ . Thanks for your comments on my post. It's appreciated. But I disagree. As shareholder,  I maintain my point about the necessity to support aggressively the share value in a competitive market. Promoting the value of BU stock is an essential part of the PR work for a public own company. They have to work constantly on this matter. I let you ...more

we had this point already 10 times... the chinese investor has so many shares that he can destroy all cheap overtake offers THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN
Comment by DealDone on May 25, 2021 11:24pm
Any Person who owns 5% or more of a public company has to disclose that ownership. I see no giant Chinese investor disclosed in the Burcon filings?
Comment by DealDone on May 25, 2021 11:06pm
I think both of u are right. Over-selling shares takes away credibility of management. Underselling excludes potential investors. Personally I think that Burcon needs more sell. I've worked with CEO's who speak at an investor conference a month, sometimes two. Burcon kind of participates in a couple Roth conferences a year. A great example of info not used just happened. Merit Foods had ...more

You make good points. I absolutely agree that they should put more effort in "selling" their product through better public communication. Their use of LinkedIn updates is really symptomatic. Maybe they should put Johann Tergesen into a COO role and hire some kind of Elon Musk figure as CEO. Then Burcon would surely go to the moon!! :)
Comment by Summer001 on May 26, 2021 1:48pm
They should retire Tergesen, that would certainly help the share price and then hire someone who knows IR and PR.
Comment by Alternative on May 26, 2021 6:30pm
I have to admit Summer that this is the first thing I have ever read from you that I actually agree with and do so whole heartedly! Tergesen is in way over his head on this ....
Comment by AntiSummer2021 on May 26, 2021 10:32pm
Don't be fooled by this moron (Summer001) , A former employee who has been fired from Burcon for theft . Then started short selling to recover.Pure manipulation trying to scare real shareholders away. Go and read the comments from Summer001/Shortie for the past several months and see it yourself. Don't trust this snake, Burcon is on track to be a gold mine in plant based industry. Big ...more

While I do agree that Burcon management needs to focus more on investor relations, we shouldn't lose track of the fact that burcon is up over 200% over the past year. That doesnt usually get a CEO removed. It gets them generously compensated.
Comment by Summer001 on May 27, 2021 12:31pm
Is Burcons technology not suitable for large-scale production? Yes, Burcon's share price has done very well. It was the same with Clarisoy and ADM 15 years ago. Pure speculation. Burcon never had a marketable product for 20 years. There has been no news about the JV with Nestle for over a year now. The situation with ADM was similar. .....????
Comment by Transat500 on May 27, 2021 2:13pm
As long BU management keep for themself all the info about everything`, Summer001 will be free to create continous suspitions on Burc
Comment by Summer001 on May 27, 2021 2:22pm
For 400 million market cap burcon has to deliver much more than two small companies with niche products. But it seems they have no more ...It will not be enough for the nasdaq
Comment by AntiSummer2021 on May 27, 2021 3:23pm
You can tell Summer001 is so worried about next massive announcement and  Keeps posting about the stock.It's coming to hunt you!!!
