Re: outrageous

"There are a couple of classes of shareholders to consider. The Wall Street crowd are certainly only interested in the short term which can be defined as the end of their current bonus period. Those of us who are pensioners and who actually provided the money invested in this are interested in the long term continuation of profits; we are not particularly happy with the antics of the speculating crowd, nor of those company employees who respond to them. "

Agreed - but unfortunately the short term burners seem to rule the roost, whether by bullying and chancing their way to owning more of the shares than they should or by just shouting loudest.
