RE:SilentreaderNo, I didn't sense that he cares about the SP. It has no short term financial impact for him. His perspective is that he has no control over this, with which I of course strongly disagree.
He's staying the course on his plan and is convinced that he is implementing a winning long term strategy.
I've posted this before - Claude owns 6 850 000 stock options, of which 1 417 800 @ 0,42 expire on March 25, 2020 and 555 911 @ 0.38 expire on July 14th 2010. I'm assuming that these two dates are the important ones for him by which time he will want to have a strong SP to maximize the value of his 1 972 911 stock options. I would be very surprised if he would let that many options expire without any gain for him.
So IMHO, until that date, Claude will keep sticking to his plan and not care about the stock price. His cash and bonus compensation are more than enough for him to wait at least another 12 month before shifting his priority to the market value of the SP. Until then, I assume it's business as usual for him.
Only my opinion.
