The problem for Management (read the Directors) is that there is always two agendas at play. The first agenda is, short term, that of those who are looking at the SP and how and when it can be driven up so that they can take their perceived (and well deserved) profits quickly. The second agenda, long term, is where the Management works to build up shareholder value by concentrating not on the SP but on developing the companies assets. More often than not the two do not work hand in hand and those working on the first agenda are never satisfied. Given that the history of this Company is well known it is obvious (or should be) that the Management is working to the second agenda. To those working on the first agenda and finding that their aim is not satisfied often revert to claiming incompetence or ignorantly questioning their intelligence by name calling, I guess as an armchair manager that is the easy way out. They have the option to move on or put the stock in the bottom drawer.
