Public companies are required BY LAW to hold annual in-person shareholder meetings, and quarterly conference calls. Most companies go far beyond that and hold frequent events and Q&A sessions for investors, as well as press releases. For many companies the CEO's primary job is investor relations - the COO and operations folks take care of the day-to-day.
you can't be serious to expect this comfort from a small company like AsicMiner in a chaotic market like that.
You realize that friedcat even personally refreshed the list of direct shareholders in the past?
Ever seen a CEO do that?
This is a small company with potential in a growing market. Give it some time.
Do you know why those other hardware companys like Avalon or BFL don't ipo and sell shares?
They take preorders as loanfree credits to produce some promised hardware that will be delievered whenever they want to.
You're right, I expect more communication in a high-risk, dynamic market. The time investment to keep shareholders up to date is negligible. It doesn't have to be a pretty report every time, just a blog or update post.
And the market isn't growing, dude. The market has actually shrunk from a fundamental size of 300 BTC/hour to 150 BTC/hour. All of the companies have to fight over that.
If Friedcat was able to make the bid on Bitcointalk, why not make a post saying what it was for? This is the behavior I expect out of Yifu, not FC.
