Excellent post, 'palomar'.

Some questions asked at the SHM were, IMHO, to see how JT and the BOD would respond more than to get details or promises. It was the quality of the responses that was disappointing, to me at least.
The same questions could have been asked by an investor, by a representative of a potential M&A candidate etc. Sometimes "No comment" is a better answer than "I have a big dog". I'd have preferred (to the $1 question) an answer along the lines of "My salary is actually already quite low for my position and fiduciary responsibilities. My commitment to growing the company is paramount so that I, with you, will see a return on my investment."

Same with the "How will you fix the stock price". Instead of "I don't know how to..." it would have been more reassuring to hear "I have already been working closely with the Board and M&A experts to put together an aggressive plan which takes into account the possible ranges of revenue we can predict over the next three years given the possible scenarios we face."

Or something like that.
Hopefully next time JT is put on the spot with unscripted questions he'll be better prepared with an inspiring reply. He certainly has the charisma in the right circumstances, but replies and demeanour need to adjust to the environment and audience.
