Melnyk's Actions Will Only 'Delay the Inevitable' at Biovail

Well, I read your comments and wonder over what specifics this fight continues? Does the current board mismanage (and how), do they choose the wrong products or strategy, do they squander funds on themselves (Tyco), what do they do that is counter-productive to shareholder value?

I would add to my previous comment (user 185549), that as long as the friends of industry allow their buddies to dump their trash in public space and rake in huge profits there will be people who fight back, some rationally, somone irrationally.

His reaction is exteme, but he reflects an anger among us that sees the stock holder clobbered and the board/CEO rewarded; that sees lakes and stream as the cheap sewer for industry, that allows power plants to spew into the air with impunity; that coddles the car companies producing guzzlers; that allows poisoning of our children; that encourages off-shore HQs at taxpayer expense; that encourages tax abatements to generate jobs (again at taxpayer/homewowner expense and you can go on and on and on. I would support his efforts only to put the fear of God into the jerks who run American companies.
