I am beginning to think that it will now be but a short while until the long suffering patience of FASC investors will be rewarded--and quite handsomely so. I have nothing but subjective factors on which to draw this conclusion.
1. My thought is that Brian is not throwing in the towel because he has some reasons to hang on. Everything is hanging by a thread. But the thread does not break.
2. My reasons for investing in FASC have taken a 180 degree turn. Originally I was in this for myself. Gradually these have become family shares--to the point now that 1.5 million are for my oldest son's ministry work in his old age. ( I have a son nearly 63 years old!) He has developed severe Meniere's Disease that has robbed him of most of his hearing, and leaves him with distorted sounds in his head. But he has a jail ministry, and is a good servant of the Lord. On faith I believe our Lord is going to grow FASC and these shares so that John can carry out his Christian service. The other half million shares go to my younger son, who will have similar good use of them.
3. As for me, I am on Palliative Care--(Pre-Hospice). My time is short, but continue to hang on so will no longer predict my demise. But there is this strong subjective spirit in me that has a growing belief that FASC is going to make it. In fact I feel this more strongly than I ever have in the 13 or more years that I have been around here. And I feel this at a time that the belief and morale of FASC investors overall is likely at an all time low. So--we shall see. Waitedg
