I personally am not too fussy about knowing what is happening with SDV (or JB). I actually trust management to do a good job there. I don't to hear right now about SDV/JB. Plus, they will very likely answer "TCan;t tell you anything, we'll update the market as soon as we can", so a question around it would be a waste of an opportunity.
Looking at the depressed SP, and the amount of shorting happening, I'd be more interested to know what management is doing to protect my investment.
I trust them to handle SDV/JB, but I don't trust them to protect and raise our SP.
What are they doing to make it better?
What is the deal about our special adviser, JP Morgan, lending their shares to Morgan Stanley so they can heavily short us? What are they doing about it?
One of the main justifications to the 5:1 consolidation was "to reduce shorting". This miserably failed. Who proposed that? Who is responsible for this error of judgment? How are they made accountable for it?
One question:
As the share price heads south, the biggest army of loyal and vocal supporters can be found in Hot Copper. Does anyone in management ever read the mood and sentiment of the true believers and take into consideration their fears and hopes? If not, why?
I guess the reason to ask this, is if we get a yes then at least we know that all the discussion we have regarding shorters, MS etc. is at least acknowledged. They may not do anything about it, but it would be nice to know if what we write gets noticed by the most important people of all.
