>>Ask yourself is it better fora CEO/company to to run the company or run the stock. I asked, and you know what I said ? I said it's the failures in running the company that are adversely affecting the shareholders equity and hence the public perception of the company. You cannot separate the two. A well run company is a consistant company in earnings as well as public opinion. Basically, run the company correctly and the stock will take care of itself.

Bob, yours is a retorical question. the only reson a reasonable person would invest is to make a profit. I submit, that the only reason a company exists is to make the owners a profit (presumably that us). KE has done the profit thing very well in the past few years (what has happened recently to change that ?). But to suggest the 'business of hyping the stock' is not in 'OUR' best interest is puzzeling to me. My real concern and question comes out of total ignorance in this area and that is : How can a company's stock drop 30% with a few million shares in after hours trading. and then in the next few days trade close to 1/3 of there outstanding shares and only move in a narrow range. I would entertain any explaination (logical or otherwise) . And i suspect otherwise is more on the mark. balloonman.
