- <how is one to know which management are going to take care of your interests?

Not easy. I admit. First you call them and talk with them. I mean, if it is a junior, call the president. Get a feeling of who he is. Call him many times. Check the consistency of what is said. Check insider tradings. Check the record of financing. Check what he has done so far...etc

- I guess having a newsletter writer like you helps, and I'm sure that you know many managers,

Not necessarily. Believe me, many manager will be more open with shareholders calling them than to newsletter guys.

- but there may be good stocks with management who are unknowns

Yes... here you have to start by talking with them on a regular basis and always tell them you are considering a long term investment in their company.

-- or even management who have good intentions but due to being naive or neglectful end up not protecting their shareholders.

Well if they are stupid...dump them.

-- For example, how many managers have experience dealing with takeovers attempts?

Well that is too rare a situation.. I would not bother with that.
