She probably wonders how in the hell real longs could be so patient with so little information, price per share decrease x approximately 100 at one point, increase in fully diluted shares x approximately 10 in just five years and constant belittling of the company. She was actually surprised at the number that voted favorably at one proxy vote. She chose a public company format. Retail longs matter to management (somewhere way down the list), but I suspect bringing this to the finish line is their primary goal so that patients can benefit if it is successful.
Usually company owners and management do hate shareholders. They either have to grow the company huge in size, to have enough personal or take the company private, if profitable. IMO
I don't think it really matters to her. She probably hates us all at this point, at least it feels that way imho.
The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. (laugh)
In my opinion, Linda views shareholders as a means to an end; she really doesn't care about shareholders other than as a source of funding. A necessary evil.
