Some of us are not like good sheep that follow along and accept whatever management and the board do, we like the board and management to be accountable for dubious actions. Its called shareholder activism and all shareholders are generally far better off for those shareholders brave enough to enter the fray.

I think it always pays to attend agms and raise any issues you should have.
I also ring companies,and get answers to anything I want to know.

Good on you mate. I'm not afraid to make some noise / ask questions / provide input outside of annual meeting forums when appropriate too.
Its people like us that provide directors with useful checks and balances.

Once upon a time a very long time ago I was rather a large shareholder in SCY,and always used to turn up at their agm with a list of questions.
After one of the agms I was asked to ring Mr.........., or Mr.......... anytime,and they would answer my questions,saving them the embarassment of them having to be on the back foot answering them at the agms.
I did ring them and they always answered my questions.
Since then, other than having an almighty go at Postie Plus directors, at their agm,I have found ringing or attending presentations,as well as agms.leaves me with no unanswered questions, and well positioned.
Offcourse you learn very quickly whose word/words you can trust.

Is this ok?
Looks like the market doesn't like it . It will be lower tomorrow i think. I defiantly don't agree.
Now they might loose the respect of a good chunk of shareholders and they will sell out this week.
( i think, maybe, not sure, who can tell ? )
mmm unwise this was, more discerning one must be...... Shareholders unhappy will become .....

Not so.The share price is being manipulated lower, by very far right wing greedy capitalists,who are endeavoring to get more shares with DRP.
Devoted socialists should be awake to this ploy,and spend all their rainy day funds, driving up the share price, so they don't get away with it.

Often is the case,but not always.
Sorry to be vague,but if I say it will,it willn't,if I say it willn't, it will.
