OilDri employees · Guest

Tom Cofsky married into the family that owns OilDri. The company runs itself, it's stock price hasn't changed in decades.
Cofsky was elevated to VP after his marriage.
Known throughout the company as <<<...snipped (personal attack...>>>.
Corporate America is chock full of dead-wood like Tom Cofsky; the company would not notice his absence if he just decided to stop showing up.

OilDri · Guest

Dan Smith is <<<...snipped (personal attack...>>>. Somehow being elevated to management, he can now hide his shocking ignorance. <<<...snipped (personal attack...>>>, Smith lords over his far more qualified staff. He needs help opening and interpreting even the simplest spreadsheets and reports. Hiding behind the competance of others, this human manure pile claims a hefty salary for work he couldn't possibly explain on his own.

A hopeless drone at an OilDri facility, Tom Cofsky hit it rich when he caught the eye of the grandaughter of the company founder. Willing to endure an unhappy union with an unattractive, abusive woman he can barely stand to look at, Cofsky finds what little light he can in his miserable existence by traveling to facility to facility, glaring at his wife's employees through beady, close-set eyes. No one repects this self-important buffon.
Shareholders should know that the literal life-blood of the company is the kaolin clay mined at a few locations in the US. OilDri depends on this resource, but actually own very little outright. The company, as outlined in publically available filings, on a series of mining leases, many of which are many decades old. Were leaseholders to revolt, theoretically, the company could be ruined. But all that is in the company filings, so I'm sure all shareholders and creditors are completly aware of the company's vulnerabilities.

OilDri · Guest

Third generation 'CEO' of OilDri, a well-established mining/manufacturing company that virtually runs itself. Jaffe's company is completely dependent on the white clay mined through lease agreements with landowners. As stated in company filings, these agreements supply the company with its main resource. Many of these agreements are decades old. So investors must be confident in the fact that the fate of their $200 million/year company rests in the hands of a handful of rural families who are paid a very small amount of money for their resource based on leases signed, in some cases, during the Depression.
And they put incompentant, inbred morons like Dan Jaffe and Tom Cofsky in charge. Sleep well!
