hylander - no offense taken; sometimes I find it cathartic to blow off some steam, and react viscerally after taking off the blinders. Would I like to see these companies actually produce something? Absolutely, otherwise it would be a matter of me hoping my own investment completely tanks. OTOH, the more closely I look at and investigate the management of this company, the more concerned I am that this company was taken over just to squeeze what could be squeezed from it by current leadership.

The company is like the tip jar at a new carryout that has a great-looking menu: At the beginning of the day, a couple of dollars of change and bills are put in the jar by the employees, to prompt customers to follow suit, and put in actual tips. Customers put in tips while they stand at the counter, waiting for their order, and before they have consumed it, and before they know if what they ordered is even any good, and worthy of a tip. At the end of the day, the customers get none of that back, and the employees do, even if the food and drinks are lousy.
