I'm as frustrated as anyone about the lack of news, and am well in the red along with most if not everyone here. However I always remember that Mr Ward is not on his own. The company has a board of directors that hired him and can fire him. The BOD was presumably ok with the media blitz that preceded him, and the media drought that has followed. Regarding his direction for the company (assuming he has one - it's not clear one way or another) the BOD must agree with it. I assume all of the board members are also share or option owners, so they will care about the share price (especially those with Series F D and H options which expire this year). And one of the board members is a representative of MIN, and they wouldn't put up with anything that threatened their investment.
