It does feel like investors are left out of the loop but tbh I appreciate it, AM's delivered since the IPO and most of its been on blind faith. Trust has been discussed a lot on this forum and it could even be a currency of its own one day but honour is hardly ever mentioned and its the foundations of trust. After seeing the financial report I'd guess it would take pages for FC to get us up to date on the full picture so maybe its better they break the mould and use the most despicable of words in the 21st century, trust us.
thanks for the very wise words there...
exactly this trust and friedcat's reputation made me invest in the first place and this situation hasn't changed for me.
I've seen a lot of stuff working in advertising sector and i know that a website doesn't even remotely present what's behind the shiny curtain.
still the difference how AM is spreading their products compared to its competitors is a miracle to me.
perhaps my perspective is disturbed by my western marketing approach and this is simply how things roll in asia.
(my thought process here is: more competition -> ramp up advertising via central and direct communication channels)
edit:
Your search results are probably skewed by prior search history; on a 'clean' browser I get the top about 25 results for AM, and most of the top 50. Also I've got adblocker, so no ads.
But in general I agree with you, FC needs to get at least a basic website up to face the market, and a newsfeed to shareholders - just posting more here would do, but these posts need to be advised ahead of time to avoid trading advantages by those lucky to be awake in the right timezone.
i just realized that after using my virgin IE. (what a shitty browser

)
sorry for the mistake just wanted to make a point there.
