Let him rant and rave every single day for the next 10 months at what a rotten company it is and how he's fielding all of these great offers from terrestrial and TV, how he's going podcast etc, etc, etc . . . if that's what it takes to light a fire under his ass and get some MSM PR then so be it . . .
and in the end . . . of course you give him what he wants to stay . . . but not til the last possible second . . . milk-it Mel, milk-it!
now as for Tyler Savery . . . I have no idea what to do to light a fire under that guy's ass! His equity-research-content has become so friggin high-brow exclusive, much like Mark Wienkes, that you would think he's publishing his commentaries in Antarctica!
The poor common man in the forums never even hears from the guy anymore . .
