RE:RE:RE:RE:lots of reads , almost as many as Air CanadaEvery CEO's mandate is to maximize shareholder value which in a publicy traded context means share price. There are different ways to get the share price up, and he has to be involved in that more than he has to be involved in regularly pitching and managing implementation of projects, where other employees should have this expertise. If he has no time for investor relations and promoting the company to new investors, he should hire someone that can do so effectively. I think MBC is still involved.
Granted, we cannot and should not expect the share price to go up constantly and we certainly cannot complain about the rise over the past year (but can complain about the lack of interest for so many previous years). I think that the concern is that replicating the last year from the current share price base is not going to happen by itself unless there is a steady news flow of contract wins, or there is presentation of some kind of information that makes people want to buy and sit tight during these longish periods of few sales announcements. I think this is what many of us expect them to figure out.
It is all good so far, but question whether it can be better faster.
