Basically we will win or lose, and we are losing right now, hoping for a change in course. I am ready to be made a fool and live life in poverty, but I hope it does not come to that. I am on the tight rope over the abyss, getting closer and more intimate with the abyss every day.
I hammer away at the shortcomings, hoping to spark some enthusiasm in the other direction, to get some real "meat", substance...facts on the ground. Some say we have too much info. LOL! Granted DB let his optimism get ahead of himself and failed time and time and time again to deliver. We'll see about the aftermath of this. This is NOT looking good from where I sit. Last time Banker was drinking champagne things weren't so happy after that. We can hope but...about the future.
I call a spade a spade. Insofar as you can see reality for what it is, this translates into investments too. I am not a blind pumper. There is NO reason to celebrate right now. Japan, not going to happen (unless a miracle occurs). Hardships are imminent, in fact they are happening. I know the stories of other longs like myself who are bleeding severly, information starved, wondering if we are doomed. Debt rising, value decreasing,...almost no room for optimism. Have to move, struggle to keep income coming in...
trying to avoid forced selling at a loss...may turn out to be a mistake that I did not exit now...why some are exiting now, even for a loss. Good job DB, just kidding. Seriously, I will apologize and praise as soon as I am able, if ever. The attempts at transparency are appreciated, but I have said again and again and again, and I know IR forwarded the message, so if DB does not deliver real transparency or better yet successes I will keep hammering away. Going down swinging.
I hope to be surprised with "Funding is in hand" someday, sooner the better, but I have gotten so used to QASP being a loser, and seeing the complete lack of real evidence for optimism...that I don't have much reason to be optimistic at this point. It's mostly stubbornness and the fact that I was led to believe in this for a variety of reasons...willing to go down with the ship at horrible loss for myself. Hoping it doesn't come to that -- not going to be pretty. If DB just doesn't have what it takes, cannot get it done "in this economy" whatever, maybe I will be compassionate, but insofar as he is not honest/forthcoming about things = no mercy!!!
Where is the REAL update that includes facts on the ground? I despise faith, although it is necessary/more warranted in some cases. I resent this state of affairs, that Dean wants us to believe without sufficient evidence, "to have faith," one of the worst things to have in helping you become enslaved -- You may be a great guy on the inside DB, I don't know...but your history here is extremely poor...it's time for real and substantial evidence as to why funding is "imminent" (yeah right), etc. What a joke... What the F is going on? Seriously. He drags us along, never follows through, never really lets us know what is up. Maybe if he did we'd be even lower pps...sighs.
So far this is the worst investment in my life and will never be worse than this. You can always find poor folks in even worse situations than yourself, if that helps you "keep things in perspective." Having to "keep things in perspective" doesn't help one in building optimism about life though ;)
hoping for the best but prepared for the worst. GLTU longs!
I hope to praise DB and celebrate ASAP. Right now? Impossible!
