Running of Syncrude
If COS management dosn't run Syncrude, then what is their role? Really they are suppose to advocate for us the share holders, they are suppose to carry the tourch, wave the flag and lead the charge with respect to a smooth operation, intelligent investments, , and the creating of share holder value. Their job is to illustrate to the investment community and the world that the investements we make are stategic, they are timely and there is no better place to put your money and your trust then in them.
With that being said, have they really carried out their mission, and does the investment community provide the miror that they should be looking into. Out side of this board from a few loyal posters where have you ever seen one investment analyst comment on the great guidance and wisdom COS has presented to the investment community, With an asset that has a replacement cost of roughtly twice what it is currently trading for, all investors should be asking them what have you done for me lately.
I don't think buying a gas property in the Artic is a good answer.
