It was in no way an "intentional bash and buy"! Again; how can one board member effect share price by telling the truth about a company's past?  My reason was to hold the company accountable on a public forum whether I pissed off people or not? I know for a fact that TECO reads this board so maybe something would be done about past problems and frustrations with the company.   Guess what?  TECO did something about the past issues that I was ranting about albeit still in progress.  They have a new business plan, a shareholder newsletter, etc.  Maybe those changes would have come about without my rants but "squeaky wheels get the grease" so I would like to think that every shareholder publically  bitching helped to  make some or all of the changes.  We could be sheep, follow the herd and say nothing or we could hold a prayer meeting hoping that some higher power will change it all for us or we can speak out.  "God helps those who help themselves"!  I've said that I could have traveled to headquarters and had a face to face and complained about share price, what was being done about it, what was being improved upon, etc.  I would have been arrested because my anger would get the best of me in a one on one with TECO.  I am happy with the changes TECO has in place and their future prospects so my tune will be changing and buying will commence.
