Worrying vs analyzing

Disclosure: Another 10k the other day at .94 and I thought I was getting a good deal. In fact I'm having myself tied to the mast as I type and may yet ask someone to hide my Etrade security key.

There's no doubt many of us are worried about a trend that defies our longer-term assumptions. I sure am. There's no question that our collective ears should be pricked up.

I disagree that "this board does not want to hear much about worries." Concerns about things like insider selling are completely legitimate (>cough<samandmartha<cough>). However, once stated, the point's been made and without a suggestion as to how we could learn more or should adjust our risk assumptions, frequent reminders of how worried you (or I) continue to be is non-productive, especially when the focus is on manipulation or some other "possible" influence that can't be analyzed further.

Apologies in advance for pontificating. One of my many bad habits.
