Most excellent post, Artguy. Very positive and no, it was not confrontational - at least to me anyway.
I agree with your sentiment, and in this world there is no reason not to follow your best judgment when making buy or sell decisions. For me, it is easy. I buy companies and not shares. That way I can do as much research as I can and then make my decision and buy what I can afford to lose. Once made, I stick to it - win or lose. There is a lot to be said for loyalty in the hard times.
I have done my research and I am totally confident in my investment. This confidence allows me to joke a bit and wrestle with my queasy tummy as I watch the share price wobble about. It is hard for many to take, so if you are not able to see the good in this most excellent company then you should definitely move along and find another gem to invest in.
Some over there on the Yahoo board will certainly call me some kind of inside pumper or something, but let it be known that I am simply a fan of Torvec's innovative engineering, quality minded leadership and the possibility that they will help a little bit to clean up the Earth in one way or another. All those things, and of course Torvec being a Rochester company, prompted me to buy in (don't worry - the Rochester part is just gravy to me...). If I lose every penny I will still be very proud of my decision - for all decision are good when they are made with good forethought. They may not lead to the expected goal, but maybe something else comes of it. Lose money, learn simplicity - whatever. If you put in the honest hard work in making the decision, even if you are considered "wrong" by others, you will eventually rise to your own potential.
Perhaps that is what Torvec is doing - contrary to those who doubt them they are rising to their own potential.
I am fully aware that nothing is for certain and things can change in an instant, so this positivity is not blind. But like Artguy says, there are so many things stated recently and there is real estate purchased and so many other positive things that point to future success. It is just slow. Really slow. So slow I don't even know, but you guys at Tor Acres DEFINITELY know...
Everyone please have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend, and let's look forward to a bright future for the company we all share.
