# Don’t worry. If you don’t own 1,000 companies, you don’t have to make
1,000 calls.
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
For the most part, companies are honest and forthright in their conversations
with investors. They all realize that the truth is going to come out sooner rather
than later in the next quarterly report, so there’s nothing to be gained by
covering things up the way they sometimes do in Washington. In all my years of
listening to thousands of corporate representatives tell their side of the story—as
terrible as business might have gotten—I can only remember a few instances
when I was misled deliberately.
☞ For the most part : used for saying that something is mainly true but not completely true
☞ forthright : saying what you think and feel directly and honestly, without being afraid of other people’s reactions
a forthright politician
a forthright comment/statement/apology
# So when you call investor relations, you can have full confidence that the facts
you’ll be hearing are correct. The adjectives, though, will vary widely. Different
kinds of companies have different ways of describing the same scene.
Take textiles. Textile companies have been around since the nineteenth
century. JP Stevens got started in 1899, West Point-Pepperell in 1866—these are
the corporate equivalents of the Daughters of the American Revolution. When
you’ve been through six wars, ten booms, fifteen busts, and thirty recessions, you
tend not to get excited by anything new. You’re also strong enough to admit
readily to adversity.
