Agreed. I'm sure more information will come in time, but I'm also sure that 100% of the people (possibly including you!) will never be satisfied. Others (including me!) will say that knowing who Kenny Boy Lay is didn't help Enron shareholders very much... >Otherwise they will be completely at the mercy of an unknown management... ... I think 10% shareholders are indeed at the mercy of an unknown management, but yet-another of those differences with "normal" stock markets is that this unknown-management seems to *own* that other 90% of the TGC shares. Wall Street scandals have hit companies whose board and management interest is not aligned with the interests of shareholders especially-hard, while nobody much-worries about Warren Buffett's treatment of "his" Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, since he has so many shares and such a consistent record of profits. Berkshire Hathaway shareholder's meetings are also said to be a lot of fun.
