I believe that Blaine’s current capital structure and payout policies are not appropriate. In the current situation it seems to me that Blaine does not adequately use its funds.

His appreence in the speech is that he is wearing a sweater‚ t-shirt‚ and jeans. His facial expression is showing no emotions at all.
