LOL...the point is "losing money" is not a criteria for having or not having an CFO.

Often, once one has made a decision....either pro or con, bias creeps in. The psychology industry calls it "cognitive dissonance".... and folks can be quite unaware that this tendency to want to see things that fit that decision (to the exclusion of other thoughts or ideas) can really affect how they react to information.

It is best to keep a clear objective mind when investing, reviewing the good, the bad and the ugly. Then think about risk/reward....

You were creeping into the "basher mode" - (cognitive dissonance snagged you perhaps?)

smile...Mary
