Good luck in getting a reply from Mr. Smith...your odds are about as good as a stable rental horse winning the Belmont Stakes this Saturday. If you want to communicate with Smith, call him and he will usually take time to talk to you, for what that's worth. I've had over twenty conversations with him over the years and you could put the sum total of usefull information gleaned from all that in a thimble...e.g. in 2008 he assured me that Magpie would be sold and gone in 4-6 months...QUACK!
The "Shot across his bow" was fired several years ago in the failed coup to install Mr. Grainger, and you see how much that achieved...he needs a direct hit amidships. For now he's quite comfy with his six figure income and sp below 4 cents.
Does anyone see anything good happening with this company in the next few years...seriously?
