The original "Flight of the Phoenix" from the mid 60's is one of my favorite movies. Jimmy Stewart starred as the pilot of an oil companies cargo aircraft. The aircraft and a reasonable sized crew were over the Sahara Desert when mechanical problems brought the plane down in a fairly rough crash landing, damaging the plane. The character study of all the individuals and how they handled the adversity of running out of food and water while attempting to rescue themselves is the real story of the movie and the reason I like it. The longer the crew was stranded the more divisive many became. The major decision makers decided to reconstruct the aircraft. Some decided to trek across the sand and try to walk out. Some resorted to theft of water. Several lost it mentally and all struggled. After much work, second guessing and stress, they finally ended up successful in the reconstruct and flew out with the "steadfast" workers, those with a goal.

I see a bit of the same stresses showing up on this board as time crawls on and we hear nothing. The insecure and impatient join those spreading FUD in creating divisiveness. This is the land of Pinkies and it harbors no reward at times, even for the steadfast. Many here will take what profit they have and move on, congrats to you. Some, will remain and whine to fellow shareholders to "shed some light". This is a fruitless exercise as we are all "in the dark" at this time. Others will stoically wait for Paul and the boys to show their cards. Everyone makes their own choice and perhaps only one choice is the wrong one, complaining.

Not to go all preachy but, if holding SPZI is excessively stressful on you, sell and move on as no stock is worth ruining your health. There are always other stocks/investments that will make you some gains. If you can handle the stress, try to enjoy the wait. This board possesses some witty people, enjoin them in some banter. As the musician James Taylor sang, "the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time". How's it passing for you.
