why is it not APOLOGY instead ? it almost feels like the shareholders did the bad and stupid things to negatively affect earnings ... Ike, You have a point. It should a revenue or earnings shortfall apology. The shareholders have no control over management's decisions. I can't recall any CEO stating publically he or she made a lot of errors. I was thinking there was one recently but that was Warren Buffet in explaining the poor performance of Berkshire Hathaway. I don't recall him blaming it on anyone but himself. I typically hear excuses from CEOs that demand was down, margins were squeezed. fuel prices moved against us, etc. How about we did not do a good job in predicting demand or hedging agains a rise in fuel prices, or cutting costs, etc.?
