despite loss, asciano board wants pay rise, page-18

doudou,

I have said it all along that we, the retail investors, are just pawns on the chessboard, that are proned to be sent to the slaughter without us having anything to say about it.

The Directors, Company Management, and Financial Institutions, gets a say in anything that goes, and we are left with the crumbs, if any are left, or left carrying the bundle.

The only time that we are important, is when a Company does an IPO. That is because they need the funds to start the Company with, and the instos and other big investors, are not prepared to risk any money when the run begins. After that, once the Company is going and proving itself, we don't count one single iota anymore. If anything we become an impediment and a costly exercise, lol.

I should know. I am a bean counter.
