JRI IVZ Fireside Chat - March 26, page-407

It's somewhat ironic that Ozblue was on here a few weeks ago arguing in favour of supporting the company by investing in the RIs even though the offer was slightly out of the money. Then he oversubscribed (i.e. put his money where his mouth is). And now he is being accused of having ulterior motives and not supporting the company by people who, if I could put money on it, didn't support the RIs (and the company) themselves.

Those of us who supported the RIs have every right to voice our discontent about the outcome (even if we look a little silly for having participated in the first place) and management's handling of the situation. Furthermore, criticism doesn't mean we've written off the company altogether. People need to chill out even if people have differing/negative views sometimes.

IVZ still has great assets and upside. But management really has to improve if they are going to turn potential into reality.
