I do not have anything against finding excuses for the company having no time ti inform us in the fullest possible way. The "spending their time on more important activities" and "using their ressources in more critical operations" excuses are often quoted as justification for our "busy" management team not to work more toward greater transparency.
However, talking to neighbors in an honest effort to add to your DD doesn't seem inappropriate whatesoever.
As an example, I am looking for a new house and visiting some that are on sale. Whenever one is interesting, I go to talk with neighbors to find out whatever I can that those living in the area can offer. What's the problem?
One thing that renders that speculation risky is the lack of access to reliable secondary sources of information. All we can seem to be able to find comes from those having direct personnal interest in whatever that is (A message board in not what I call reliable source).
I must say that using an argument such as "good neighbor relations" to suggest that what has been proposed is inappropriate is, to say the least, surprising???
I couldn't care less about what some stupid individuals post on the other board but I seriously wonder if some other are not unduly excusing and defending a management team that behaves in a way justifying doubts, presumably being to busy to support the value of their stock at a time where it is being "spend" or "sold" by the company.
With all due respect, this answer went overboard and justified even more my reluctance to give value to anything written on message boards.
However, I still beleive that these boards are usefull, whenever someone points at findings we can also get to, other than those released by the company itself.
Look forward to see what this activity tells us...
