The 'liquidity' much vaunted by senior management is best viewed as a flow of money, like a stream, coming in from clients and going out to suppliers with the difference pooling in the pockets of investors in the form of dividends and increased share value. Time to release the cash from the investors is now, if they really believe in their investments then now is the time for them to step up and back them properly rather than just harvesting profit.
