I was referring to long term plans and development towards a real business, as described by furuknap.
IMHO, premature planning is useless and may result in unnecessary burdens (you can ask how concrete business plans and commitments are working for BFL). How long has it even been since the blades became operational?
Youre right... long plans cant be done. But friedcat most probably knew since some days that the dividend will be cut because they need money for 2 investments. It would have been nice to know this some time before, not that at the point with the highest tension the awaitings are crushed. Knewing it before most probably would have had an impact on shareprice on the exchanges but that shouldnt matter much. It would only be nice to know it before instead getting disappointed in the last moment.
Only saying...
