RJ2 -
My God, you are still alive! You seemed to have disappeared. I figured that you had maxed out your credit card, and taken that wife of yours on a fantasy Caribbean Cruise.
Now - as your elderly mentor, it is time I speak sternly to you. Hold every one of your FASC shares (and remember I know how many shares you have) for at least 3 to 4 years. Do not surrender to "high altitude anxiety" when FASC takes off for higher grounds. Do not--I say, do not--click that sale button on your computer when we hit .10 to .15 cents.
When Net-Man's computer model says, "Sell 70 per cent", then do so. Then transition into your Warren Buffett personality, and put 90 percent of the proceeds into a Vanguard (or similar) S&P 500 stock index fund".
Then sit back, do your service work, treat your wife well, and enjoy old age. Remember, our good Lord may assign me as one of your guardian angels--so listen to this old guy.
On another matter - found out today that I also have skin cancer, and must have a new kind of surgery called Mols surgery. They will keep cutting away at the cancer and keep me there, cut some more, etc, until they have got it all out. In my case it appears to have gone quite deep into the skin.
I live in two worlds. One is the world of hospice care--with considerable suffering, pain and discomfort as I move closer to "graduation". The other is a deeply beautiful spiritual experience where I see Heaven opening up to me, and a welcoming community of angels.
This is very real--very comforting. Some of you have become very special friends of mine--and my faith leads me to truly believe we will have eternal friendships. Our Lord teaches that next to loving Him, we are to love one another. I have learned a great deal here on the FASC Board. And you are one of those who has made my 14 to 15 years here very profitable no matter what direction FASC takes. Dave
