Leadership comes from the top....
We can blame the lawyers, the shorts, etc. However, the ability to meet deadlines, close deals, and successfully operate a company starts at the top. If we, as investors, feel the company has not respected us, have ignored us, made mistakes with our investment, we must focus on the top.
Raoul, it doesn't hurt the PUBLIC company to release REAL news to the investment community. Information on company progress is a good thing. Secrets eventually hurt, and can even lead to a permanent trust problem with the investment community.
As Michael has stated well and often, it does no one any good to get upset. But in the last two years, there have been quite a few outstanding investments that us die hard Struthers investors have ignored. In return, Raoul, we have been treated with disrespect, and so far, have watched our investment plummet in value. Even if Struthers eventually pays off, the investment community will make future investment decisions based upon trust, judgment, and ability to deliver in a timely manner.
