Comments
What do you think about ADA directors selling a truck load of stock before the AGM ? It’s really amazing that they only found out that they didn’t get their contract renewed until the AGM. Amazing timing
It does seem a bit odd, doesn’t it Chris. It’s not a good look, and it seems the market reacted to it, or other news, at the AGM. The investors dilemma – the last ones to find out information!
