Nothin personal against him at all, Bertie! I've never met the guy. I'm sure he is a very nice guy. I'm just not overimpressed with him.

If I had around 6% holding, I think I would be putting a lot of pressure on management to perform in line with a realistic peer group as far as sp goes.
I don't believe we have broker's note that makes peer group comparisons, do we?
We need to stop making comparisons with a dire and disastrous past (to which today compares well) and start comparing with reasonable performance expectations (to which, imho, today compares poorly).
Less smoke and mirrors, more quantification.
