Author: GLG Expert Contributor

With the recent exodus of executives and the elimination of the quarterly dividend, this is a ship that cannot be righted. This is a company that should be conserving cash, not instituting a share buyback program. Besides, when 41% of the stock is held by insiders, one has to question both the...

Author: GLG Expert Contributor
To assert that "times are tough but not as tough as during the recession of the early 2000s" is to look no further than the numbers, ignoring the underlying issues, which the NAR and many other trade organizations are quite good at.
