RE:RE:RE:Management Needs HelpBickering with one another isn't constructive or helpful. The history of COS has been to set guidance, that with the benefit of hindsight, was overly optimistic. That resulted in a lack of confidence from the investment community. You rebuild that confidence by setting guidance that you are very confident you will hit, and as the year progresses, you can up the guidance rather than reduce it. This is particularly true with a new CEO. The last thing he will want is to start out missing his targets, albeit conservative.
So let's have a little patience and see how the production comes along, the finishing up of the capital projects, and the wild card of oil prices.
Hopefully all of the metrics will come in strong as the year progresses and we can look forward to increasing dividends and share price in 2015.
I also hope that management rethinks their position on not posting Syncrude oil prices, this is and has been a useful and informative metric.
