For someone with such apparent sophistication you don't seem to understand what some people write.  My comment about managing a company and a share price you took out of context.
You can manage a great company and the share price can be out of touch with fundamentals -  so how do you manage what essentially the investors/traders in a sense control?

I would hate to be invested in a company where their only concern is the share price.  They would be making short term decisions without any concern for the health or wellbeing of the company (and essentially shareholders) knowing that if things don't go right they can bail, take their golden parachute and be done with it.  They will do whatever to try and influence the share price, satisfy the shareholders in the short term, but when the lights come on, essentially leave everyone else holding the bag.  You were around for Enron right?  All those decisions made for the stock - not the company.  Did more people lose on that?  The insiders didn't.  The ones who lied to manage the stock and essentially destroying shareholder value - unless their chart is not a reflection of destoyed.

There is a difference in managing a comany and managing a stock.  Take a look at the irony of your comment.  Sulking over destroyed share price over failed guidance.  So what if their motivation was to pump up 'the stock' (short term thinking and motivation) without having what it takes to back it up. Maybe your kids can explain that to you.

The comment I made was that if they manage the company according to their strategy and execute then theoretically the share price should improve.  I have seen share price disconnects before that are beyond management.  There are egos, manipulations, etc.  How do you manage that?  How do you control the selling that is going on?  Unless you put restrictions on shares.

Lets take you for example.  With your so called 700,000 shares could you not negatively influence the stock?  If you had a bone to pick and wanted to strong arm the company could you not send the stock price down?  Now, is that a reflection of GLH, or traders/investors?  How do you manage that?  Things could be good with the company and traders could take it down.  That is why I made the comment that in fact they can't manage a stock, because the market will do what the market will do.
