It's clear they are the only ones who can bring about any change here. No one has lit an actual fire under Geoff and his crew. They just keep making excuses and weaseling out of having to give any real answers, while the company blatantly falls apart under their leadership.
Most of MDT stock is owned by institutions, and someone needs to get them riled up as to how horrible their investment has been. And whatever thesis they originally invested under, does not hold true today due to the fundamental shift in how this company is being run.
In short, we need the analysts to start caring and holding management responsible. They're the only ones Geoff has to answer to every quarter because the board (that he is chairman of) is clearly sleeping and doesnt give a flying fu-k.
