A promise by an executive of a legitimate corporation is a promise that has to be lived up to without compromise. We aren't dealing with the dictator of Montomonagrow. Does any of this sink in that a CEO has to represent the corporate image and embody the highest standards of ethics. If you don't hold him to it, then you perpetuate fraud and manipulation in all business dealings. It will be over for the investor if they can not rely on the people they invest their money in. If you are dealing with a bookie, expect him to take your money. If you are dealing with a business, expect them to protect your money. If they don't have that as an objective of management, then they are no better than the shoplifter, the burglar the car thief. It is that simple. em
