(PRESS PROFILE TAB FOR FACT SHEET & UPDATES)
What we discuss and argue about, and links we share on this forum are important.
Yes, there are times when what some of us (me for sure) talk about can be way off target. But that's when this is a dialogue where reasoned argument and factual correction matter.
If it's not helpful to set some bar, as to what our expectations are, then by all means let's not do that. But if a proposal comes to vote at Tyhee, we may be in a position where our small 10% of votes may help the board stave off soemething we all don't want, then our engagement as a community could be important.
I agree that we should not be excessively proactive as shareholders, as that would mean we don't trust and have confidence in DW. But we should be engaged. Remember that when there is an AGM, voting our shares is helpful to the board.
We are all owners, after all, and in good company with DW and other owners.
SO let's not sell ourselves too short, nor get too arrogant.
We matter. A bit. But a meaningful bit. SKELEG
