vpelt et al. - I turned on my computer this morning with a little trepidation, expecting to read at least three or four posts creatively castigating my last post, and negatively but perhaps accurately describing my lineage and bizarre early parenting. That certainly would have been the case just a few months ago. Instead, I found 11 PMs,more than the combined PMs I've recieved on SI during the past year, all expressing the same frustration and disappointment in TAVA's treatment of its shareholders that I experience. To a post, it wasn't disappointment with the share price or with the product or with the effort of the company to set and meet objectives. That seemed a tertiary concern. It was mostly with the lack of respect and disregard (one poster's perspective - contempt)that IR held toward its shareholders, and perhaps more importantly, the disdain management seems to value getting the message out. What a lost opportunity! There were a lot of specific examples given that I had forgotten. The rescheduled conference call so the CEO could go to a more important meeting, the messed up press releases which required endless elaborations, the press releases that combined so many pieces of news that none of it was understood or had an impact, the botched interview on CNBC, the CC where Jenkins seemed lost in explanations of a collection on a law suit and totally unfocused on what his company was doing, the lack of any specific information on growth and revenue. So rather than write back to each person who emailed me, let me just say that I've read your messages, I appreciate your taking the time to tell me that I'm not alone out here, and I'll share this message at the stock holder meeting. For those of you not unhappy with TAVA's IR and PR efforts, I'm open to hearing the other view. Thanks, fma |
