  the informed sell

  "Confusing" to the investors, or "too informative"... are they trying to shape their investors, or make their company present better? I say if your numbers are too "confusing" to investors, it's not your job to omit them, just be happy with investors who are able to comprehend, or hire a translator to be able to sell shares to the investors who aren't "getting it".

  Companies have a wonderfully fine line they have to walk, between their in-store consumers and the investors. The reality of the marketplace, especially now, and the diversification that results is such that retailers are bound to have find that the specifics of their performance are nuanced by many different factors. Investors either have to trust that management understands its market, or they have to be ready to work with the system to make things work. It's not always about the almighty, friggin' dollar.

  This attitude is further evidence of nonethical behavior. All that is legal isn't right. Are we headed in the direction that a little deception won't hurt. Withholding information that will lead to an informed decision isn't acceptable in the healthcare industry and should not be in any business.
