SAN has all the tools to continue to drive SP! While all the reasons you mention in your latest post are true, they don't, IMHO, subvert the responsibility of the CEO to "all '' SHRs.
The old saying, "$hit or get off the pot!" is continually following management in all publicxly traded equities, regardless of past success!

JMHO!
