I have watched not only my investment go down, but also my childrens. Well Dan Jr and Sr. God, will punish you both. You can't possibly live with yourselves knowing what you have deliberatly done to all of us.
Dorine,
You didn't include our sincere friend Gary Kolesar, Vice President of Investor Relations. I, like you, thought he was forthright. What's sad is he's probably so self justified he doesn't even see how his actions have concentrically effected the welfare of others. All in all, I feel he means well but has lost his ethical perspective along the way. Nothing new with IR people.
Granted, nobody forced us to buy, but we listened to the sunshine of IR and the various reports issued because we believed them.
Dorine, as we've discussed, a person beating their breast in church doesn't mean a damn thing it they don't atone to the people they've hurt (even if not done deliberately) for their mistakes, just like putting your hand on a bible doesn't change the ethical value or intrinsic character of a person. It all comes down to ones actions.
So many of these wall street people have adopted the hardened view of
the Gecco character Michael Douglas played in Wall Street and will always turn it around to blaming it on the poor saps like us because it was "our adult decision" to buy. Thus the high burn out, general drug use, alcoholism, and religious zealotry. Reality is just too unpleasant.
The SEC give way too much latitude in these matters. It these people were attorneys or doctors giving professional advice they'd all lose their licenses for malpractice. They may have their money and perks, but they have also acquired the mistrust and disrespect of many people for the rest of their lives and will never know what people really think of them. It all comes down to how one measures real value. This is why it's hard for me to understand WHY men like Cannavino, Garbe and Markus would risk their hard-earned reputations with this rogue group.
In the last 20 seconds of life it will likely come to light for all of us. I hope my last few breaths are drawn deeply in the full knowledge I've never done anything I'm ashamed of for money, ego or at the cost of another's trust.
I hope this all works out for all of us.....
