>I would have thought that a stock message board is the last place for such a person, that you would have no worries, and that you would spend your time drinking wine and selecting your portfolio by tossing darts at a monkey, or maybe buying an index fund.<
We would all probably be better served in the long run by an index fund, but I prefer to do my own research, make my own decisions, and then take full responsibility for the results. To do that, I need information. Stock message boards are no doubt the worst place to search for reliable information, but this particular board is USUALLY the exception. (I tried tossing darts at a monkey, but after the first toss the monkey would not stand still. I even thought about naming the monkey "GTC", but decided against it because GTC is very good at standing still.)
I fully understand that the stock market (and the oil market, and even the supermarket) is influenced by greed, fear and fraud. That's just the way it is and should be factored into any decision.
I also understand that GTC has some intrinsic value but, at this time, it is only a farm and a herd of goats. (There's a market for land, cheese and cabrito ... and even a small market for Atryn in Europe.) That may change tomorrow. I sincerely hope it does, otherwise I would not be here, but until then please spare me the rationalizations and wishful thinking loaded with qualifiers like "if" and "when".
Just the facts, Maam.
I think fear (or at least extreme doubt) is the predominant emotion regarding GTC in today's market. Normally, we might expect a few facts from management to either allay or substantiate those fears, but management is suffering from a self-imposed lack of credibility.
