It's certainly easy to have mixed emotions about all this. Whilst it appears SB's bedside manner with shareholders could be improved, I feel at least he's got his hand firmly on the wheel.
Shareholders might send this stock up and down and all about, but if we come up with gas and all the other stuff, no cock ups will stop this share price eventually getting where it's destined to go. If there's value here, shareholders will come back and chase it... What else can one expect?
