Re: Why would the "Royal Family"..../ (CS18) JEFF
Jeff - the CC was just an example of course. At this point the only thing that really matters anyway is concrete news. As for how things are handled,the truth as with most things usually lies somewhere in the middle.KL isn't the worst CEO ever but also is in no danger of winning any awards for corporate governance. I buy the litigation reason TO A DEGREE.
Having said that as I've posted before I like the risk/reward at this level and am long with some stock and option strategies.
Having been in and around this business for a long time,I understand what you're saying about getting a sense of people.I like to think I'm a pretty good judge of character - like you posted - can spot the used car salesman, but enough about kneel.
Yes,I have noticed how people that have had personal contact come away impressed. I suppose the cynic would say maybe he's just a REALLY GOOD salesman.However the list you posted consists of some pretty sharp posters who I doubt are easily fooled. I've PM'd with a couple -- quality/knowledgeable people.
I enjoy trips out west anyway - maybe I'll have to come to the next ASM and "look him in the eye". BTW - which eye? And what if you eventually find out it's a glass eye?? (:>)
Cheers
