Mark, if you do talk to the co. after the show, please most definitely post.
I was very disappointed in mgmt.'s lack of plan of action; it was almost like they were saying, "oh, the market's bad, but maybe somebody will just happen to come by our lemonade stand and buy something."
I realize I am being very negative here, but as a market leader, I expect VTC to make things happen, not to wait for them to happen. Mgmt. did not show any resolve in its comments or any reason for a great deal of optimism.
Maybe it was just a poorly written press release? I certainly hope that's the case, but Mr. Mansfield and VTC has really got to get it in gear. A continuing trend in lower sales and earnings will not do, and neither will a public perception of aimless mgmt.
I really want to be one of VTC's biggest cheerleaders, but they've got to start performing. |
