From the Wall Street Journal... "A Seattle Shipper Puts the 'Dis' in Full Disclosure; Expeditors Gains Following For Tart Filings to SEC; "Best Bathroom Reads" by Robert McGough. (6/6/02) The CEO of Expeditors doesn't seem to have a very high regard for Regulation FD, or for analysts. The Public Disclosure Archive IMO has some great answers to some of the questions that have been asked. I'm sure that more CEOs wish that they could respond in exactly the same manner to many of the questions they receive. To an analyst's suggestion that Expeditors hire an investment banker: "We decline to learn about fairness from anybody who has worn braces within the last five years." And another answer...."Is it just us, or are the rest of you also getting tired of this?"....and to an analyst's mathematical argument..."strikes us as a totally meaningless observation. We advise most people to stop reading right here." It seems that these are the only Regulation FD reports that have gained a "cult following" for the humor many seem to find in their reports. investor.expeditors.com
