Ann: BRN Responds to Shareholder REM Report Concerns, page-22

I haven't held for very long, so I missed all of Lou's earlier indiscretions. What I've noticed from looking at lots of forums is that management always have their noses in the trough, but when the share price is going will, people turn a blind eye; however, when the share price is falling, people become outraged. Just look at the new A2M CEO. Her first action was to sell many of the shares she was granted as part of her sign-on deal and then tell the market that she was going to sell the rest ASAP. The amount of hate put on her as the share price went from $12 down to $8 was something to behold. Now that the share price is at an all time high, everything has been forgiven (she still hasn't bought any shares herself). This was always a 1 in a 100 shot for me, so I haven't put much in. Still hurts to be over 50% down, but I'll see this through to the end.
