Ann: Annual Report 2018, page-235

KKW,
You're laying it in for downrampers who complain about SP while not holding shares? I've run through the thread and there are only 2 posters who don't hold... Value_Hunter and Ya, both being esteemed knowledgeable posters whom I don't perceive as down rampers. So I'm not sure what you and some others are on about. Maybe you'd like to be more specific as to who these downrampers are because I don't think you are referring to the mentioned 2 posters. From my perspective, and I've stated previously, the Company and it's assets are extremely attractive ( for me anyway), so much so that it overrides the "management" component. If the attractiveness is significant and much of the risk in the stock have been allayed, it is easy to make decision to buy and hold notwithstanding some poor management that might be in place. Management must fulfil their role towards shareholders and create value. Bad performance and failure to achieve the main objective ( creating value for shareholders) will naturally place Management in the spotlight. And rightly so, poor performace calls for fresh blood. How many on here hasn't hesitated for a moment to blast the WPL CEO and that he might/should be removed for poor performance. Hypocrisy seem rife on here. Right now (IMO), looking at the company's performance and that of Management over the past 7 years, there is probably good reason why shareholders may have an issue with management. This is an open forum for all types of views and opinions and it is sad when someone dare say something about management, that that then be construed as downramping and those supposed "downrampers" should not be holding in the first instance. Right now I'm disappointed how the Company has performed from a shareholder perspective. Where does the buck stop?? Should anyone who now questions Management's ability, divest notwithstanding that he/she believes in the company and the assets? That is simply not the way that the investing world operate. MYfok.
