I think it would be an extreme risk for TKO to take questions from the general public on the call. I know this is how CC sometimes work, but they risk the whole call going down a rat hole based on a question that is not really important in the scope of things.
For those that attended the shareholders meeting, you will remember there were some questions asked there that were not appropriate for the gathering. When you wind up discussing the specifics of why TKO is not an economical solution for residential house versus MDU, and specifically why that it is, that conversation provides little "good for the cause."
Presumably, as a long, you would want to ask questions that you feel Ron will have a solid answer for, even if it is a tough question. This should not be viewed as an opportunity to piss and moan about having lost money on your investment, about what the company execs are paid, or other things you don't like. In public companies, you vote your shares, and if you don't like the direction, you sell. None of us controls enough shares to influence the management, so your option is to sell if you don't have the confidence necessary in the company.
Putting Ron in a position to answer a negative question that makes you look smart is not going to do you or your long friends any good. Right or wrong, we need to sell some money managers on TKO as a good story. They are likely smart enough to decide that on their own, but if not, we don't want to poison the well.
