[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8598584, member: 4348"] I'm one of those "investors" as one would put it. I'm not the expert, just trying to actually have money for my retirement to keep flowing to me...plus...I like the company (currently). I feel it boils down to several things, one is where Alta doesn't like my board picks (not just mine, others too). Currently it is boardroom politics, and they are playing nasty. MY FEELINGS (which are just feelings and could be wrong) is that they are taking the Mitt Romney type of approach to money and earnings, whilst my current feel is to do more of an Amazon type approach (investing in the company for better futures later). That means that money may come from another section and be invested to prop up another and grow the company while Alta sees this as money which they could be receiving annually being used trivially. They also disagree on where that money is being spent or how it is going and whether it will actually be a fruitful investment later. Just some feelings on the matter from me. It may be that they also feel that reinvestment into WotC itself would be more useful than that money being invested into alternate properties in Hasbro. I personally don't like their approach thus far as I think it will actually be harmful to "investors" like me and put my money more at risk. I'm obviously NOT the only opinion in the matter though, and there are tons of other "investors" in the picture (some of who are probably also on these boards as well). [/QUOTE]
