I feel fortunate that I wasn't privy to all that garbage. I stumbled upon the company by accident liked the concept and bought shares. But I never went all in because of the very reason you stated, the overt cheerleading never aligned with what was actually happening and then the treatment of those who didn't buy in made me feel something was amiss. I knew enough to rely on my own research and to not try and be swayed by the popular message. Same thing that got me out of the general market months before the housing crash. Funny thing..I stumbled across what Anthony Mazilla(sp) was doing while in charge of Countrywide, Dude was always selling stock every month. I noticed in July or August of 07 he sold nearly 3 times what he had moved in the months prior which covered well over a few years. I had also been reading about the mortgage swaps and just thought something looked off and I pulled everything off the table. I pilled everything into an Ameircan century bond fud and got damn near 11% return and went back into the market in late feb of 2009. Same reason I didn't panic as this has gone up..same reason I haven't bailed on this market yet.
