Just voicing my opinion here.

By Wes inviting both yourself and Hoov to this meeting, I view this as the olive branch being extended to retail. For whatever reason you guys have been selected, I'm pleased that it appears as though you have been selected on our behalf. I think the both of you put in the most effort to find quality information and share it with Agora.

I had a feeling that Wes would try to put the mob at ease as we approach the PDAC. There is most definitely a charge of animosity I can see here and that which bleeds through retail. The NUMA and the cocktail event could perhaps be the makings of a fresh start. Up until now, I don't think they have done much to give their love to retail.

Similar to the negotiations with FN, I hope collectively we can give the management their due respect and perhaps this is a sign of them dropping their guard a bit and letting us in. I have yet to see the management team do anything to tarnish my faith in them...although we have been through some interesting times as of late.

Let's see what happens but I'd love to see the brooms and sticks put aside and see if we could establish a less volatile relationship with them. I for one am petrified to call JJ as I'd have to think she feels like a cat in the corner surrounded by angry dogs that are hungry for an increase in our SP. That and the fact that there is no reason to call her.
