Today on BNN there was discussion on the characteristics of the top 5 corporate execs and one of the key characteristics repeated often was, and I quote, "as much interaction with SH's as possible!"

The "best" it seems make their SHs feel great about ownership in their organisations. That spreads the word and expands the SH base! Coincidently, an Agnico exec made the list.

With only 100 people in the room, the set-up was perfect at the AGM.

They slammed the door on their own show!

I was out for supper tonight and the restaurant mgr was around twice asking how everything was? IMHO, he was at more risk than Dale and Co!

They need a lesson or two, not only in IR, but also PR!
