TKA;
I am referring too managements apparent view of those that those that they "invite" to participate in the conference call. The shareholders would be best served by allowing "all" to participate.
I realize that this might open them up to some uncomfortable investor comments (not that they haven't earned investor ire), but there is a lot of garbage that has to be carried out, in order to remove the stink from this stock.
Yes I was disappointed by the general quality of the questions, and the lack of sharp focused questions during the last CC. The highlight of the CC to me was the inclusion of Howard Rosencrantz (sp) during the Q&A.
I am sure that you did your best, but may have been influenced by the goodwill of the company having "invited" you to participate, and perhaps didn't want to offend them.
Pointed questions need to be asked to this management, they have gone overboard destroying their credibility with investors (whether by inept management, or by design), and it will only be by answering the "hard", and "embarrassing" questions, that credibility can be re-established.
I am sorry if you are personally offended, you have contributed significantly to this thread, as has Ed; but hope that the offense taken will promote a more aggressive attitude towards management during this CC. If so, consider the offense taken as a small price to pay in order to get the answers to our questions. My account balance offends me every time I look at it. LOL
Mr. Hilliou is getting paid handsomely to instill shareholder confidence. If he succeeds, he will be well worth his compensation package (unlike the other packages management has bestowed upon themselves at shareholder expense). I doubt that he will willingly answer the issues we want discussed, unless he is asked directly, without giving wiggle room for evasiveness. Without pointed questions being asked, he is politically hog-tied, even if he would like to clear the air.
