pitbull74: The glass is half empty for GTE! But it is also (I Believe) half full! My feelings is that I must trust the CEO! Believe it or not I still do trust him: even with the haphazard stockprice! If I didn't trust him, I would sell. I believe it's a tough job taking a stock from Smalltime to Bigtime! I may be right - I may be wrong - And I may be Crazy But for now: I am sticking it out for a while! Cheers! pick_the_one
