    Yesterday's announcement that both the CEO and CFO are leaving the company at the end of August,confirms that yet again, the on going challenges at MGL continue.
    I am not surprised!!!

    Great news!. If new CEO and CFO are any good , things could improve substantially; but legacy issues like all the free/cheap shares/options management got etc maybe hangover. Shepherd has 35 million shares and tobin 3 million plus.

    JT There is an old Buffett saying which goes something like this,"When people with a good reputation join a business with a bad reputation,it is the business's reputation that remains."
    Would the kind pedantic poster, fungus pudding, be so good as to post the correct quote.
    Mercer has been "born again" so many times over the years I see how true Buffett's saying is.
    What price do you think the CEO and CFO will be able to sell their shares for???
    My guess is for very little.!!

    They paid so little or nothing for their shares whatever they get will be cream at shareholders expense.
    So many companies get turned around with the right management.
    This is a good thing. Keeping my tiny position.
    Bring on the new BROOM.!

    Running out of brooms.I think Shepherd's options convert /converted at 7 cents.
    Looks as though your tiny position will get tinier!
    This company should have been in the box seat, enjoying great years, supplying the wine and dairy industry, with stainless steel products in the boom years others have enjoyed.
    Funny how people/companies who do not return phone calls seem to fare poorly.An early sell signal?
    Well it is something I place importance with."It really works."!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yes thanks for doing the ringing Percy. . Of course it all depends if the new brooms are better with shareholders interests at heart.A good sector for good management to make a turnaround.
    Lets see how this pans out and revisit this in 6 months /a year.

    Mind you I somehow think that the management was supplying the co with "cheap " money by exercising their oppies so that it stayed within its banking covernants .

    So have they run out of money, and resigning as they can not keep supporting the company???
    Look for to their jobs being advertised;"The successful applicant will need a capital base of approx. $5 to $10mil to be able to continue management's practice, of financially supporting the company." lol.
    I can't remember the last time the CEO and the CFO resigned from a company at the same time,especially when they both had significant holdings.
    I hope for shareholders' sake I am wrong, but "job done" does not cut the mustard for me.

    Hopefully someone like Chalkie will do an article on Mercer.

Good companies deliver results and extremely poor ones deliver one excuse and promise after another.
