Elysse. I don't know what you would expect in an email from
the company. I know of another company, that I knew/know
very well. There was a time that I used to communicate with
the owner/ceo almost daily. So I knew in advance of things
that might be happening even though he was careful in what
he would tell me. Because anything he might say might have
some effect on the price of the stock. Unfortunately he
died 3-4 years ago, but we remained good friends until his
passing.
However, if you remember the days of "Martha Stewart", - that
closed all communication with the company about anything that
was coming up. They were also very careful not to say ANYTHING
that might be taken as "inside information". This was also an
end to communication via email. Because any email that was
sent could be examined by SEC and any other entity that had
access to reading/checking their email.
So not only is it difficult to send out an email, with
45,000 shareholders but they would also have to be careful
to respond to any questions raised by anyone seeing the emails.
So in most cases it isn't only sending the email that makes
it difficult but they might have to give reasons why they
have sent certain emails and justifying the sending of the
emails. Yes they may have someone to respond to some emails
but, I am sure they don't have or want to have employees to
respond about the legalities of the email.
Myself, I wouldn't want to have emails sent from the bunch
of doctors working on R & D answering queries from shareholders.
So what do we have to have in addition to staff replying to
emails, but you would need a legal staff to be careful of
everything that is written.
That is what PR's are for. That is how every shareholder is
notified together. And that is done in a legal manner.
Sorry to disagree with you and this is my opinion, even
though it is the correct one. . . LOL
