Bashers are not convinced that a stock promo is bad, they want to convince others that it is bad.  I say, yes, promote the stock, the brand, the product, raise the bar, gain visibility. I believe BW has come a long way in 4 yrs and may surprise us all with upcoming announcements.  I agree with audit, but a sneaky buyback would dismantle the opposition and suck the air out of their already sinking balloons. Face it, BW is a promoter, and getting better, with his track record, he is the right person to move BBDA forward , The next exec hire may be a shock to the doom and gloom crowd, and, imo, they deserve it!
