It is quite easy to sell and acquire shares with the push of one button ... and it is not unheard of that even new companies take over existing tickers - even if they have nothing to do with the previous ticker owners. How hard would it have been in the case of Heartland?

Just a bunch of selfserving time and money wasters - and the fact that others are as wasteful (like TNR - TRA) does not excuse them.

Well, I am glad that you guys enjoyed the name and ticker change ... this must make it all worthwhile, doesn't it?

And yes, while I know that this is what mangement enjoys - setting themselves a monument by re-branding, re-naming or retickering - could I count many more examples where the only outcome of such an exercise was additional cost rather than gains.

But yes - I agree, in the overall picture is this a well managed company and the cost are relatively low (even if the payback is Zero) - must give the management some leeway to leave their mark.

And obviously - I should have considered percy's attachment to the stock ... I herewith withdraw and appologize for any excitement caused ...
