You're right, faith is tough to argue with, especially blind faith. Fortunately though, what I have is a confident conclusion that is not blind, but is instead based on many things. I've spent the last 14 months watching Eddie state the vision, state the plan, and execute, changing (improving) it along the way, and driving forward. If I sit down on my couch 50 times and it supports my weight, it's not blind faith to tell someone that it will support me the 51st time. Eddie has delivered consistently, and it is a completely LOGICAL and REASONABLE conclusion to expect that he will continue... Feel free to argue with that logic. It is the same logic you are using (that the past predicts/informs the future) except that you use faulty attribution. I'm using the past events of this CEO's performance to indicate his probable future performance (sound logic), whereas you're using the past performance of who knows what other companies to try to reason that SMKY is doomed for failure. Sorry, go back and take a logic class...it doesn't work that way. You can use whatever false generalization you want that "all pinks are the same" or whatever else you need to say to make yourself feel good, but the fact remains that each company, its success or failure, is independent.
Have you talked to Eddie? I'm guessing not. Is this worth debating? Not really. Bottom line, I've talked to Eddie many times, and I'm more than confident that whatever played out movie you've seen so many times that makes you think you know more than everybody else here isn't the script for what's being played out behind the scenes for SMKY.
I'm glad you're hanging around. I have to say I won't have as much class as you, as I am very much looking forward to the day that I start (and continue) saying, "We told you so." Oh wait, I guess based on your last post where you totally contradicted yourself, that maybe we're of the same "class" now...
I have no idea if the seller is done. You're asking the wrong person. Feel free to try to find a quote by me where I've made any statements like that. What I base my confidence of eventual PPS in has nothing to do with who might be selling today, and everything to do with Eddie taking this to fruition.
