The Global Livingston Institute (GLI) is, in short, thriving. If we were a business, our shareholder dividends would be increasing and our shares would have more than quadrupled since 2009. And if this were an earnings report, our growth for the past year would have outpaced our expectations and our earnings forecast would be promising. Analysts would give us a “strong buy” rating, and we believe that you would be inclined to invest in us.
