Monk's Den

[tech9018]

As a new member to this, with a sizable investment (sizable to me), it is disheartening to hear Monk asking others to step up and do their part. The investment strategy Monk has laid out seems brilliant but fallible only in that it relies on others not giving in to their selfish tendencies. After spending a large chunk of time reading the Den board back a few months, it seems to me that "Den members" flipping or selling there positions on the backs of others is only showing the simple flaw in this plan. I do not mean to insult anyone, Monk or anyone else. But it seems to me, without putting words in his mouth, that Monk is asking people to step up and do the right thing for the team, ignore our own selfish human tendencies, so that we can all benefit from it later. If I were to sell my position in CDIV, it would be but a blip on the radar in comparison to some who have liquidated their positions here. Yet I hold, having never even had 20K in the bank at any one time I hold. Why, because I believe in the chance at doing something honorable that is being presented to us. Because I m tired of the endless corruption. Because I am tired of the endless stinky pinkies on OTC. Because I want to be a member of a team, something stronger than a selfish individual. Lastly, because I want to make money, like everyone else. Those who are questioning should not worry about what the general is planning, but look to the man next to you and ask yourself how your going to help him, help the team, win the war. That is our job as grunts.

Sorry about the endless rambling, just thought I would introduce myself to the Den with a small mind dump. Can't wait for my 1st Monkinar.
