Webb-site

We tell it the way we see it. Our goals include: to inform to opine to promote increased transparency and efficiency of free markets and their participants, including companies, governments, regulators and controlling shareholders to oppose all forms of cronyism, favouritism or protectionism by governments to oppose anti-competitive behaviour by monopolies or oligopolies to demand fair treatment for minority shareholders, to educate and inform them, and promote their participation in corporate decision making to promote civil liberties, including freedom of speech, thought, information, assembly, movement and trade, the right to private property, and the democratic right to elect any office which has the power to interfere with those freedoms. Our only material potential conflict in what we say is that from time to time we may own long or short positions in securities issued by companies or governments on which we comment. That's unavoidable - we've got to put our money somewhere. Who is David M. Webb? David M. Webb is a retired investment banker.
