Joda -

I remember a really interesting point from a professor of Strategic Management in course that I took in college. 

He asked "What is the ONE reason that a business exists?  Is it to provide jobs?  Is it to be a good corporate citizen?  Is it to serve customers?  No.  The ONLY reason that a company exists is to increase shareholder value.  Period."

 I've never forgotten that. 

So, the way I see it, they work for us.  And I think it is completely within a shareholder's rights to let managment know how they feel they are doing.  And as a shareholder, I would say having my portfoilio cut in half is not "increasing shareholder value".  I still do hold hope for the future.

I currently run a privately held company that has a larger market cap than PTSC.  I will agree that with you that it isn't easy and that there are a lot of people that second guess every decision that you make.  But if I turned in the performance that the leadership of PTSC has, I would have been removed in a month.

Disclosure:  Long PTSC for several years and still holding / adding.
