RE: Management Inept or Uncaring?EQ,
Send your exact same email to McRae and Ford and demand a response as an owner of the company. And if nothing from them, the entire BoD.
It is an insult of the highest order for IR to completely disregard the questions of a shareholder. I can only assume that your message and prose where professional yet direct and provocative giving her no reason to respond in the way she did. Sure if your message was vulgar then maybe, but if not, then she has no right to claim your are being disrespectful or insulting to an institution of which you are part owner. All the themes you mentioned in your post are valid and fair game and deserve a proper response.
It is naive of IR and the mgmt team proper to expect that shareholders would simply grin and bear the trickle erosion we are seeing despite the company knocking on the door of extreme success. You would think they would want their shareholders to understand what and why things are going on (within reason).
It is easy for anyone at BNC to look down their nose at us while they collect the handsome compensation that we support them with. Though it's easy, it's not right.
