Wow! You have had some reasonable posts in the past, but this isn't one of them. That is your attempt to paraphrase something I said?! Are you responding to the right post?! Have you really stooped to the level of twisting and manipulating my words to such a great extent?! I did not "purport" any of the statements you claim. Go back and read my posts.
I said that executives must be focused on maximizing shareholder value, which in turn implicates the market value of the shares. The stability and value of the stock in turn affects the company's ability to obtain financing. For further context, look back to the Kaplanis lawsuit, which is what raised this whole "stock promotion" buzz in the first place. Once you are there, read my comments as they relate to that lawsuit. After that, read my comments to jimmenknee where I expressed gratitude and a desire to speak in a cordial manner.
You seem to be suggesting (and now I am paraphrasing) that I support stock market manipulation, so long as the ends justify the means. That is absurd. As you should know, to arrive at that determination you must first attribute a host of statements to me which I never made.
Let's keep things honest around here.
I'm done for tonight.
