I appreciate KB, like the suite of products, like

However, in business (and I know you know this) you don’t over commit (despite the best of intentions) and certainly you don’t commit for things you have little control or influence over.
My investment in this company is my decision and I’m responsible for it’s performance good or bad. Essentially I’m a business owner picking and choosing which products (in this case securities) to market (in this case invest). Sometimes you choose right and sometimes wrong. I’ve owned this piece of the business for over 4.5 years and it’s taking up shelf space. I can’t hold much longer as other products seem more enticing. My window is 5 yrs and like any business person I need to be resolute.
Honestly, do you not expect actual versus forecast measurements of results? When you ran your companies or managed your employees did you not provide evaluations based on quantifiable, realistic and yet challenging goals?
The challenge now is to deliver on this updated plan and timing. Investors can’t continue to hang based on words. Results matter. Communication matters. The bar is visible for all to see. The company made it that way.
Your insight is valuable. Your loyalty commendable. Your attacking of those who harbor no ill will toward the company or it’s leaders is distasteful. Some of us are just looking for results based on documented expectations. The stock market is a 3 month snap supplemented by an occasional interim commercial. False expectations tend not to bet met favorable. Ask the Netflix guys about that.
The chip leader throws his weight in every aspect of life. I like underdogs, I like having a chip on the shoulder and I like being “all in” to get something done. So yeah, I commend KB. So much to do, so many to impress.
I wish nothing but the best. My last post.
