As a stock holder, I expect to be informed about the operations of my company at
the same time as, if not before, anyone else outside of the company. Nothing 
less makes any sense at all.
     
Of course, the fact that the human animal is capable of saying the most 
outrageous and self interested things with a straight face means that, over the 
coming weeks,  we will all be bombarded with the the most ludicrous buffoonery, 
delivered with all the solemnity and seeming concern for my welfare that can be 
mustered by the Wall Street priesthood. Spare me.
     
An individual investor,
