Sorry I got upset, but it always gets to me when someone assigns blame to Veltex for every little thing regardless of whether it is something Veltex has done or has any control over.
I am not pleased with the stock price. I am not pleased with many of the things that the company has done. I am not pleased with a whole lot of things about Veltex. But I try to assign blame where it is deserved. I try to empathize with the company because I think that enables me to get a more clear picture of what is really happening.
Someone shooting from the hip with nasty comments about Veltex that are not valid does nothing but hurt my stock holdings' price. I am NOT saying that Veltex is all wonderful and that there are not very valid complaints, I am just saying that this culture of complaining about EVERYTHING the company does is not going to help anyone.
I have said it before and I am going to say it again: Bashers play a scientific game. They know that if they repeat the same thing over and over, it brainwashes the people on a list. Oh, I am not saying they turn peoples' minds to mush, but the constant repitition does implant a subliminal perception. It is a trick we in marketing use to get people to buy our products. ;o) A good example is your local TV news report. I'll bet they finish off every broadcast with something like "Southern California's most trusted source for news." It may be true, and maybe not, but if they say it often enough, their audience will gradually change perception of the image of that news show.
What I am driving at is, it is great to express disappointment and to critisize actual events or policies of a company. But it is also important to be wary of falling into a trap of artificial knee-jerk negative thinking about a company.
Let's keep this board an intellectual well-balanced discussion of the positives and negatives involved in our Veltex investments! Let's not start blaming imaginary problems on the company. It has enough REAL problems.
It may turn out to be a POS, but I want to come to that conclusion based on facts and logic not some basher's idiotic mantra.
