Absolutely right ... you just know the folks who financed the operation originally would like their shares re-priced, and i wouldn't mind a little adjustment to the ones i bought ... it's a dirty move on the part of insiders, and they'll hear about it, guaranteed, not that it'll do any good ... remember Tomato and Winspear, and who won in the end, yup Rand Janitorial ... gee that was eleven years ago now, time flies when you're having fun

'OL' MAN TURNER

Ol' man Turner,
That ol' man Turner,
He don't pay nothin,
He just got somethin',
That ol' man Turner,
He'll get some stock for a song

He don't pay retail,
He don't pay wholesale,
If we folks did that,
We'd all be in jail,
But ol' man Turner,
He'll take some millions along

You and me, we risk our dough,
If Winspear's stock falls then our bankbook's low,
Management - their options change,
They get stock for two bucks off
Plus four cents change,

I'm disgusted,
The stocks done half'nd,
McDonald and Turner,
Just sit there laughin'
As they take options,
And pretend nothin' is wrong'

'IT'S A HARD RAINS A GONNA FALL

Oh where have you been, my blue eyed son,
And where have you been my shareholder one,
I've stumbled after owning mega shares of Winspear,
I've walked and I've crawled on one crooked highway,
I've stepped in the middle of a Board of Directors,
I've been out in front of some burned out stockholders,
I've been 10,000 miles in the mouth of some shysters,
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
It's a hard rains a gonna fall

Oh what did you see, my blue eyed son,
And what did you see my shareholder one,
I saw some stockholders with wild wolves all around them,
I saw green clay with diamonds and nobody on it,
I saw a stock price with blood that was dripping,
I saw a room full of directors with hammers a bleedin',
I saw many people with portfolios under water,
I saw folks all complainin' whose tongues were all broken,
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of pissed people,
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
It's a hard rains a gonna fall

Oh what did you hear, my blue eyed son,
And what did you hear my shareholder one,
I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warnin',
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a bleedin',
I heard many people talkin' I heard nobody listnin',
I heard one thousand people screwed,I heard a few people laughin',
I heard songs of a poet who was robbed in the gutter,
I heard the sound of a clown who was mugged in the alley,
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
It's a hard rains a gonna fall

Oh who did you meet, my blue eyed son,
And who did you meet my shareholder one,
I met some directors with four million options,
I met a white man who walked many dogs,
I met some shareholders whose anger was burning,
I met some old threadsters who gave me a rainbow,
I met one man who was wounded by greed,
I met another man who was wounded by cash grabs,
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
It's a hard rains a gonna fall

Oh what shall you do now, my blue eyed son,
And what shall you do now, my shareholder one,
I'm going back out 'fore the directors all screw us,
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest class action,
Where plaintiffs are many and the directors defendants,
Where the pellets of options are poisoning the stock price,
And the gems in the tundra meet the dark dirty secrets,
Where the faces of thieves are always well hidden,
Where avarice is ugly, where shareholders are forgotten
Where green is the color and greed is the number,
And I'll tell it and speak it and think it and breathe it,
And reflect to the thread so that all souls can see it,
And I'll find a reporter to write an expose piece,
And I'll know my rights well before I start suing,
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
It's a hard rains a gonna fall

Agree with you, but you know what these guys will do if they can't reprice. They will always look after themselves and simply issue even more paper at better terms.
