Margaret in fairness to you its not about shooting the messenger.
" they did not disclose specifics, But rather general information."
is all they ever give and all they can legally give in fairness to them. But merely saying call management as if it a panacea is ridiculous. That is why some of us get very skeptical (particularly our mate bucky) because it means nothing really and people who suggest that they have received a wink wink are either talking BS or being feed it. Frankly all Carter is doing is placating you.
Just: - GET THE DEALS DONE. GET THEM ANNOUNCED TO THE MARKET. (without stupid mistakes) UPDATE THE MARKET ON GUIDANCE PARTICULARLY IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO MEET IT AND BE HONEST WHEN THINGS GO TO SHITE SO THE MARKET CAN PROCESS IT! UNDER PROMISE AND OVER DELIVER (the last announcement was the opposite to that!)
