RE:RE:3 posts from Urkman on ST (sorry, couldn't paste his links)Dwolf - I had stopped reading your too frequent and long winded posts, but read the lastest one because of the reference to Motely Fool. Then I proceeded to read your second last post as well. Your sentence " Their other bs argument is to suggest the CEO and largest shareholder are crooks. They have nothing beyond FUD." caught my attention.
I am long on BB and have never been short, or ever sold Call options. But I am open to hearing fair criticism of both the CEO and the board of directors, who each know criticism comes with their roles.
I think you and a few others (including Yasch, at times) do the BB bullish case a disservice by dismissing virtually all criticism of the CEO and the board. The board overseas the BB management. All shareholders oversee the board.
After investing, especially if investing for the long term, Job 1 for any shareholder is to look at what management and the board are doing, and to raise their hand/ speak their mind when something is off or just not right, epecially if material or potentially unfair/ morally wrong.
Blind acceptance of board decisions is not what good shareholders do.
Apologies for the long post, and on that note, if you want more or your entire posts to be read, I suggest making them brief. The Wealthy Barber was what, about 150 pages long? Yet the ideas in it could have been summarized in just 2 pages. Those readers that had to read all 150 pages were not well versed and on average, had relatively little to invest.
Who is your target reader/ audience?
