WRAP UP: My Perspective:
Intermission in response due to:
Reached daily limit so I went for a subscription after finally having my only meal of the day as well as feel somewhat pooped in a good way though.
Unless you distinctly recall making those Cognate, Toucan statements on iHub MB, I'd suggest if you can, put your sensitivities in check out mode.
Haven't monitored very carefully what's truly led to a close to a handful? of exits of some valued posters on this MB recently. Wish there weren't ego's involved but that seems to be a higher incidence among those with a scientific bent vs those with a business bent IMHO. Constructive commentary vs criticism or acknowledgement of and to others IMHO are hallmarks to a destination called camaraderie which all should strive for.
EVERYONE (especially LP et al; Larry Smith) to say the least is FED up with the alleged illegal stock price manipulations and despicable shenanigans of AF; SA authors and MDA's Dr. Buzzsaw? etc.
Clearly there is validity for a building crescendo of catalysts:
We can call for, or even pontificate, what may unfold... but only God knows what is brewing in that maestro Linda Powers strategic agenda. IF we're still here with our shares intact after this arduous ordeal that has spanned literally FOUR MONTHS (since April!) which feels like an eternity I submit: "better days are just around the corner"
My life long held motto is: Pissing and Moaning I liken to a CANCER that is corrosive and will eat one alive eventually. On the other hand effectively dealing with it in a constructive manner and solving problems in life should instead be the agenda. Personally I've survived numerous battle royales in life that many cite I should write books about (spare one et al from real long, captivating story). Unless one tries and tests oneself... you will never know what you are really capable of. I've demonstrated that to myself and found out over many years through a wide diversity of life's challenges what I can take on; what makes me tick... to engender a strong sense of self confidence in tackling whatever is thrown at me. Just one sliver I will share to wet one's appetite: At Merrill Lynch I was the new kid on the block analyst when I was but 25 yrs of age: went with Merrill Lynch's general counsel to face an SEC subpoena! That was the early years of budding hedge fund industry. I was alleged to have inside info on a $3BLN multinational co that was supposed to go bankrupt and rather than going with the conventional wisdom, went with my BUY recommendation @ $5 went to $25 in 18 months and the shorts (didn't even know who or what it stood for.... SHORTS got cremeated!) I withstood all line of questioning and nothing ever became of it. Note this is far
more serious than what Larry Smith went thru in his description of having his license suspended. I wasn't registered because I wasn't a broker and Larry's firm then didn't have the compliance infrastructure of a Merrill! There are many many more war stories
across many fronts that I've confronted.
So rather than beating the subject to death wracking our brains and those of others suggest that an INTERMISSION of Patience and watchful waiting should be the order of the day and clearly better for our psyches.
