Further comment re Canaccord
People here know there's a history on this board of shareholders grumbling to the effect that the company needs to spend more time reaching out to the broker analysts.
They may also know that I have a history of dumping on this idea. My view is that results are all that matter, pretty much. Regardless, cozying up to the broker analysts is like getting into a cheap fling and convincing yourself that it's a loving marriage.
I have no doubt that Paul Hill expended substantial time and energy "reaching out" to Canaccord. And now look what we got for it. Stabbed in the back on the morning of the AGM.
Arguably the one thing worse in 2021 than "reaching out" to broker analysts was actually spending money to get "exposure" from Sidoti. If cuddling with Canaccord was just a cheap fling that turned out badly, well, going to Sidoti and, amazingly, paying them was . . . well . . . cuddling for money. Except that, unlike with cuddling for money, Quarterhill didn't really get anything at all, cuddling or otherwise.
Here's the question. Is the stock price any different, is the company any different, for having paid Sidoti's fee. Of course not.
I noticed the other day that Rekor is presenting with Sidoti this year. I would hope that Quarterhill will not debase itself thus in 2022.

In the past someone pointed out that the word Sidoti contains the same letters as the word idiots. Childish, I know.....lol
