Portee,

Absolutely agree. Whether or not there is meaningful news, there is no reason that management can't keep shareholders more informed, preferably with regular updates. Once again, I'd like to remind everyone that shareholders, not management, are the owners of the company. They work for us. I just wish we were organized enough, and the rules were constructed in a way that we could force some meaningful changes in the way that management operates- and if that isn't possible, in the makeup of management. To refuse to communicate with shareholders while the share price dives is execrable behavior on the part of management. And don't tell me to call IR- they aren't allowed to tell you anything of substance that hasn't been released. And management hasn't released anything of substance. There's a lot of talk on this board about how good management is. You certainly wouldn't know it by either their performance or their words. How can you trust management when they show such blatant contempt for the shareholders?
