I’m a new investor learning every day. I do believe the transparency is key anything here is not good. I believe that you guys know what is very good for the company for the stocks and for us so do the right thing thank you
I’m shocked by the leave of corruption and illegal activity the hedge funds take part in, As bad as I hate to say it, if changed ain’t made towards these criminals i & many other will be stepping away from the US Stock market. Changes need to be made.
