Remarkably, the bumbling Chad Holliday and his marginal Managers destroyed over $75 billion in shareholder value! That’s measured from the peak price of DD on May 19, 1998 (84.44) to its low on Nov. 21, 2008 (21.32), taking the total value of all outstanding shares on those respective dates!

Surely that’s not the “strategic direction”, Holliday’s favourite protege and successor desires to follow?!

…funfun..

Ellen J. Kullman has vowed to the local media and investors, she will follow the same “path” and “strategic direction” of her predecessor. Unfortunately, Chad Holliday’s signature Shrinkage Strategy, has not led to robust prosperity nor solid growth over the past decade. Ms. Kullman represents, in the minds of many investors, no change, only a continuation of stagnancy at the much shrunken and struggling DuPont Company of the 21st century.
