Dick, great minds think alike. We published our own list today. We both touched on some common points and I picked up some new ones from your list.

If I can add value here, it would be to stress the importance of Web 2.0 IR tools to quickly, efficiently and broadly communicate a company’s message.

We just recorded 1.2 million investors that read 101 million pages of IR information via our IR communities. Traditional phone and e-mail solutions just can’t accelerate an IR message at these levels.

Regards,
George

“The story is the business, not the stock price.” I could not agree more.

People want to understand a company beyond the numbers … right now they have to. It takes some work to articulate the value of a business beyond typical press releases and SEC documents, but for those that do the benefits are clear.

Be true to what you should be talking about:
1. Show your organization has a strategy and real goals in place.
2. Show that you are implementing the strategy and connect it real world outcomes.
3. Show that you have the right team to get the job done.

Don’t leave your story up to the guesswork and speculation of others by not telling it. Be the one to tell your story on your terms…no one is better equipped to do so.
