While I understand where you are coming from, let's not forget that if we say YES to what they are doing, it means that we have agreed with them. By doing so, it then become a vote of confidence for them, and they can then start to do it again with the next venture.
You cannot say that what they have done and the silence they are continuing to dish out is and has been good for the shareholders who have stuck with them through thick and thin my friend. There are times that ethics do play a role in life you know..????
All we have asked for, is a reason as to why they have acted in this way, but they aren't giving us any and refusing to do it. All we know, is as to what we are getting in return. And that, to any standard is not sufficient and totally wrong.
If you know that your house is wroth 1/2 million dollars, would you sell it for $250k simply because someone tells you that you have to and made a deal for you before he even asks for your opinion..??? I am sure that you would begin to ask questions.
I do think that they need a strong wake up call for what they are doing.
Good luck mate.
