TALK ABOUT A COP-OUT!
The fact that you even had the gall to type that in response to my very specific observations TELLS ME MORE THAN I EVER EXPECTED about the state of the company.
Your response seems to be a tacit admission that things were done in the past that were inappropriate, but you choose to focus on the future.
But the problem: it doesn't change the past. We won't forget about the past. The past is the most likely indicator of how our CEO will act in the future. That very past shows us that he is not only capable of suppressing bad news, but will actively manipulate investor sentiment while knowing about it.
You, sir, failed completely in your response. So, you've made the personal decision to just sweep those concerns under the rug? As an IR representative, do you really beleive that to be the best response, designed to raise investor confidence? If so, then you probably need to re-evaluate your own qualifications.
Or, is that the response your employer told you to post? "Tell them to look forward, and pay no attention to the mistakes of the past"? Or, "Uh-oh, Paul, better distract them with some general statement about the future"?
You had to know that your response was completely empty, and would likely anger those of us searching for clarity.
Transparency my behind - you are all playing this game with the shareholders together, and what I'm seeing absolutely reeks of desperation and a lack of any good answers.
Too bad this is my last post. I'm livid right now.
