Actually, I'm a born and bred US citizen. But I still believe there is plenty of bias in this country in institutions.

The comparison with WDC is striking. In the last year, WDC has LOST gobs of money and CREAF has MADE gobs of money. Yet their stock charts are virtually identical. The market has treated them almost exactly the same. In fact, you would have been better off in WDC than in CREAF. If CREAF had performed like WDC has, they would have been a 50 cent stock.

By what criteria are they evaluating each of them? How exactly has WDC management been more credible than CREAF management over the past year? When has CREAF ever been truly rewarded for good behavior? Are you saying that they are always trying to "hood-wink" Wall Street? In my experience, CREAF has never lied or exaggerated its earnings and projections.

Pls cite hoodwink examples.
I'd agree that Creative made various mis-steps. They've finally decided pre-announcements were important and did that some ?6 months ago... when earnings was going to disappoint ...
I must agree with Denis that they never lied... in my re-collection.
You should cite examples to back up your claim though, perhaps there is something that we didn't know and that the company should clear the air on.
