"s",
Regarding your comments on "cahoots", conspiracy and collusion.
You are correct in that a lot of us shareholders do correspond with one another. But then, we do have a common interest. We are shareholders in a company and we would hope to see the value of our investment increased. We may express our hopes and concerns to each other in private correspondence. However, since there is nothing that we can do about the price or trading status, I can't see how anybody could consider us as having nefarious purposes for doing so.
Youse guys, on the other hand, have nothing in common except that you want to insure that our investment never increases in value. In fact, if I get your drift, you would like it to have zero value. This just doesn't seem like normal everyday business practice to me, especially since you say you have nothing to gain from this. This would indicate, if nothing else, a conspiracy of malice. Acting with malicious intent is against the law.
However, "s", in the interests of fairness and open information, I am going to let you in on a secret project we shareholders are planning, but I hope you will keep this between you and me. Shhhh!
We are going to attempt to pull off the ULTIMATE CONSPIRACY (based upon your definition). We are hoping to orchestrate a face to face meeting in which all shareholders can gather together and discuss the future of our company and our investment with management.
Please don't let word of this get out, as the SEC would probably raid the meeting and bust us all for conspiracy. After all, this is unheard of. Shareholders getting together to discuss their company. It could start a trend of such conspiracies and the SEC would never be able to keep up the raids, the indictments, etc. It could change the face of the stock market totally. I'm counting on your discretion in the use of this secret information. Let's just keep it between you and me, OK?
Regards,
AD
