Fetter, There is no doubt in my mind that FH has been successful in expanding his business and bringing in new customers over the past decade. The only question I have... will he SHARE some of the success with us the incumbent SH. Hopefully the answer is yes. But his silence since the R/S was filed on April 1 has shaken my belief that he even cares. However the recent DD that has come to light on this board by some hard working investors does tend to indicate that FH does 'not' need the money to pump & dump as he did following the 2002 R/S. But maybe he thinks he needs the money for his retirement or that large two deck yacht that he has dreamed about retiring with. Time will tell. He wouldn't have filed for the R/S on 4/1 unless he had planned on doing something with it, so that tells me we will have an answer soon (maybe within a month or two). You have a large holding here so if WC is correct then you should be able to soon buy that 2 deck yacht too!!
I do agree (and I've posted to this effect in the past) that we may have to wait until FH passes on before we see anything material happen that will benefit the common SH. WC is more confident that that will happen sooner than later. Hope he's right!
And I hope you are right that FH has wanted to keep the pps down so that he can buy back shares on the cheap. I would just like to see evidence to that effect. Prior to the last few months the 21 day average volume just wasn't there IMHO to support a multi-year massive buy back. Who knows...maybe FH will surprise me.
The mistake I made was not manually keeping track of what I purchased my shares for (cost basis) since 2002. I didn't realize that brokers only keep that data for 7-10 years. I could pull it from the broker archives (maybe) but at a very hefty fee even if they can do it. But I'll only need the data if WC is correct on his speculation that big, great things are about to happen here.
