annual reports to shareholders of publicly held companies.
| 1. | If we want annual reports—for a class project, for example—you provide them free of charge. True or false? | ||
| 2. | You devoted more than a page on your website to EBITDA, which you violently object to (its use, that is, in annual reports). But is this more than the proverbial "paper tiger"? | ||
| 3. | No definitive study—despite what you claim—has been conducted concerning readability of the annual report. Your beliefs are just that—beliefs, sans solid documentation. True or false? | ||
| 4. | Is it true you actually evaluate, statistically, annuals, year after year, in 60 individual categories? If so, why? | ||
| 5. | Do you actually, sincerely believe CEOs are involved in their annual report? | ||
| 6. | When you're assigned to analyze an annual in depth (for pay), you're inclined to paint a rosy picture. True or false? | ||
| 7. | Would you, for the right amount of money, "gild the lily"—that is, tell a company everything it was doing was perfect, "don't change a thing"? | ||
