We deserve our "day in court" at the next Annual MeetingAll
I share the same pain as you as a shareholder, living thru the incompetance and ignorance of management and the voting trust. Heaven only knows where it will it all end, as it is very obvious that BAU "business as usual" is NOT WORKING.
(It will be interesting to see if they announce another 2.5cent dividend at the end of January, with the stock trading at less than a buck.)
This year, I convinced a friend who is also a shareholder to ask a few questions during the Annual Meeting Q&A period. Last year only two shareholders asked any questions during the Q&A period. I hear they had a few good questions, but that many more questions needed to be asked of senior management.
The contributors to this blog are thoughtful and I ask that they consider attending the annual meeting and speaking up during the Q&A period. While management and the voting trust will probably NOT listen to us, at least we will get our "day in court," by challenging management on how they are running Torstar.
I realize that many of you may not be available to attend the meeting, but surely you know someone who is a shareholder who will represent your views. This may be our last chance!
While these blogs are great, would it not be more effective to ask your thoughtful questions and express your valid concerns directly to senior managment?
