For what it's worth, it's good to remember that Tom Mika is no newbie at the money markets and no shrinking violet when it comes time to fish or cut bait.
Much has been made of the decline of the SP at RNVA, but it would be irresponsible and short sighted to lay the total blame at Tom's feet when so many other factors were in play
IR answers to the CFO and since Nov. 2, 2016 Tom has been CFO at Poet. He decides what gets said and when, simple as that.
Don't feel slighted because of his communication strategy, he finds retail a pain in the backside to deal with. It's not personal. it just business.
Faced with the options, he seems to have decided his focus for all of Poet's energy, both fiscal and human, will be on bringing money making projects/products to market instead.
That gets my vote
