I'd like to echo your sentiments Greg. I too have recently found myself angry at what has taken place. More specifically, I was angered by the fact that Cooper got an additional 1 million options without having shown us any results. Would I like to have seen some results prior to all of these options being given out? Yep. Would I have done the same as Cooper if I was in his shoes? You better believe it. Get those options now while the pps is cheap. The apparent lack of worry about the pps by management at this time could be for a number of reasons. I won't even try to speculate as I have no facts to support any of my theories. However, I would like to point something out.
When Michael Jordan was asked if he expected to win the MVP award for that particular year, he responded by saying that he didn't worry about receiving awards, trophy's, championships, etc. He concerned himself more with playing basketball as well as he could. He focused primarily on improving his own game and didn't worry about what everyone else was doing/saying. The MVP and other things came as a natural result of his efforts. By focusing on trying to be better than everyone else, his focus was outside of himself which can only detract from the goal which is to play as well as he can.
The MVP award can be likened to the share price. Let's allow Cooper and New Visual to focus on getting the tech complete. The other things will come naturally later in the season after they've "played" as best they know how. If the team was cheating, Lord knows there are plenty of referees out there watching and they certainly wouldn't have made it this far if that were the case.
Best regards,
Elder.
