If the company does not get feedback about how frustrated shraholders are, how are they ever supposed to measure the sentiment that is affecting the share price? People who post about what they like and dislike about how the company is performing are giving NMKT company a peek into the entire market sentiment. Granted, it may not be totally accurate, but it is one peek that I think the management would do well to have some insight into. They also get feedback from e-mails, and phone calls, but these often take up wayyyy too much time, keeping the management from getting other, more productive things accomplished. A message board that posts all the likes, hopes, and frustrations, and how intense those sentiments are, IMO, helps the company get an idea of why they can or cannot sell their stock to the retail markets.
I happen to think this has some measure of importance, so why tell people to quit telling the company how they feel? Probably because you do not think it has any significance. Who's to say which is the accurate thought process? My02 has posted before that he thinks the company should ignore us. I think that would be a BIG mistake, unless they were actually meeting ALL their goals and performing quite well, then shareholders would buy regardless, just on the performance. But this is not the case, and I do not believe it will be the case for quite some time. So, until then, I think they should get as many peeks as possible into as many different sentiments are out there in regards to investing in their company.
So, everybody, POST AWAY!
Tell this company what you think of what they are doing, and why you are buying or why you are selling. It MIGHT, just MIGHT, make some small difference in the timframe in which we reach or goal of delicious success. Success for the company AND THE SHAREHOLDERS, not just the company. At times I think that is all the company is thinking: Hell, we are successful, we don't care how hard we make it for that success to get to the point of causing some marked share price appreciation for our shareholders.
