Well, that’s a weak position somehow, isn’t it? A one could hardly blame people leaving SAAB for a more stable labor conditions. Point is that there is absolutely no glory in it. The only good thing (if only I’m allowed to say so) in all those bad news is that such turbulence filters out those who work for cash, thus planting an internal spirit of enthusiastic self-esteem. May I remind you that the nowadays iconic Apple was practically down only a few years ago, with its shares almost 100 times cheaper than now. Who rose it up to paramount? People. People doing best products for the brand they’re in love. Now look at SAAB: products are there, brand is there. Obviously, people are there either. Why is the lack of confidence though?

Thank you Swade for your explanation. I have a lot of faith in you and the company. If only my finances allowed me to be the big investor…

Joe, it’s a standard cover-all that you have to do being a listed company. Basically, in the sentences previous to that we were telling the markets that we’re taking actions to secure funding. We also need to inform markets that these arrangements are not yet assured, so that people don’t make decisions that can effect our stock price based on the assumption that those deals were written about, and therefore ‘done’.

Firstly, Swade, I love how you invite feedback even on serious news . It makes the whole thing feel like a family talking things out. Second, “There can however be no assurance that the necessary funding will be obtained or the funds collected.” This has me worried. (But not too much

That’s my hope and belief too Swade. What other company other then Saab has gone through something like this and not let there staff go? Saab continues to one way or another, pay their employees knowing that when this all gets cleaned up, they will need that staff to be in place. I know it’s tough to keep going when there is no production and people keep writing you off, but good job Saab, and thanks to being loyal to your employees just as they have been to you.

I really appreciate you clarifying what is apparently mistruths and lack of fact checking by the press! I am still a firm believer that this is a hiccup and that we will push through!
