Informer, no worries, I understand the frustration. In reading your post, I have to ask the question, were you the last shareholder to speak yesterday? Reason I ask, is because the last shareholder to speak was a very sincere man who in a nutshell wanted the shareholders to focus their Q&A more on providing ideas for management to better the company. In your post you kind of ask the same question, how can we as shareholders come up with new ideas to help all of us?
Well, my answer to you or the both of you (in case you are not the same person who spoke yesterday), is that as noble as your suggestion may sound, it isn't the shareholders job to promote the company, market, solve problems, etc. If we have to ask ourselves the question, how can we come up with ideas to help all of us, than don't you think we have a bigger prblem? Or maybe better stated, if management is doing their job, do you really think you would be asking this question?
Now, with all of that said, I don't believe that you will have an opportunity to see how management performs until after Texas. IMO, question is, do you have faith in the current management to (a) manage a lot of money after a favorable outcome, (b) manage with no money after an unfavorable outcome? IMO, if you believe in management, the answer should be "Yes" to both situations. This will be my last post on Turley, as he is our CEO and I wish him the best. I hope I am dead wrong and get to eat a lot of crow. Crow would taste good right about now.
Good luck to you, me, us, and all longs.
