Donald Duck,
Somehow, I can't quit thinking about a Disney analogy to our current situation.. If I had the energy, I'd research the 1955 Grand Opening to see if attendance was EXACTLY what Walt had hoped for.
In WaveWorld, I thought the numbers would be higher, but that doesn't mean the "visitors" aren't building. I've heard that posters on "AtomicBOOBs are having a field day with today's CC... when have they not? Just remember, the numbers keep growing.
Many years ago, someone asked Warren Buffet to recall his biggest mistake. He replied, and I'm paraphrasing, "I once bought Disney shares for $1million dollars and sold them for $4 million dollars." The questioner followed up with, "How was that a mistake?.. you quadrupled your investment" To which Buffet replied. "That same investment today would be worth in excess of $1 Billion dollars."
So, before the A-BOOBers get all-crazy and proclaim I'm thinking we have the next Disney, just let me suggest that, given the substantial and growing opportunities in front of this company and our partners, time will tell.
It worked for Walt and his investors.
