See the second link in #87. The company switched to paying dividends in stock rather than cash, yet retains the tax benefits of REIT’s. A partial quote: “there is a great deal of irritation over the firm’s arrogance and lack of concern for shareholders.” Other postings on this thread indicate that the Simon family will be receiving federal bailout money for the PACERS, that the son rec’d $1.8 million dollars as CEO, and that the whole family contributed heavily to the Zero campaign and to the inaugural parties. Anyway to get all of this info to the stockholders to encourage them to hold a coup??
