<Good post Jim.> Not so good post, Dave. <I am a new stockholder (this week) and can still think clearly about this company.> So am I. Just bought into it yesterday. I bought purely under the assumption that significant management changes are to happen. If they do not happen befor annual meeting, I would be out of it. I do not think that this set of coaches are capable handling all the talent that lies in this team. <If they don't believe in the company why are they riding their investment to the ground? Sell and move on.> Everyone believes in the team but dont give a hoot about the coaching staff and that is what has got to change. When a team has poor record, who is the first one to go? The Manager, right? Why should these fans give up on their team when they know that a capable manager can turn it into a competitive and enjoyable one? <It seems they do a lot of yelling and demanding. Seems they forgot some BASIC investment rules. If I were CEO I would ignore them also. The CEO is also a shareholder and has more $$$ to lose if the stock drops.> We fans are the ones paying for the gate with our hard earned money to see our team win. When it fails to perform, we retain the right to be heard by both the players and the management. What do you think these Officers pay for their options? They are not buying their share in the open market like a normal investor does. No matter how low the price is they still come out ahead. They do not lose, we do. <I don't know how many shares these negative posters own but they own LESS than the BOD and the employees.> As new shareholder you should know that you have the same right to speak out at the shareholder's meeting as the CEO owning s**tload of shares. It just takes one share. <These negative posters yell but it does not and will not do them any good.> That's all fans seating in the stands can do. Smart players and coaches are the ones that sense the appreciative or criticing tone in their voices and act accordingly. <For my part I will contact Novell and tell them that I support their efforts. I bought because I believe in the company and its future.> What efforts would you be supporting? 10% growth rate with falling market share? Microsoft would love to have a few more like you so that they can get far ahead in the race before Novell will know it. Wake up Dave. Expect you investments to outperform not underperform. By blindly supporting your company, you will be doing injustice to youself and your fellow investors. <I won't bookmark this site because it seems to be too negative. If you want to be a winner you need to be positive not negative.> So be it. <Good luck Jim and good investing.> Good luck Dave. With your investing startegy, I think you will be needing it more.
