Ah, now you are making presumptions. I would say a majority, the vast majority of our data, came from non-WSGI employees. LOL. Glenn may or may not have many strengths but no one I know ever accuses him of over-communicating!
By nature undervalued assets are distressed. My wife works for someone who has made a fortune buying undervalued real estate. It is always messy, ugly, financially distressed, etc., etc. The reasons it has so much upside potential are the very reasons people tell you to run away from it.
You seem to get posts I make about our new Chairman of the Board confused with Glenn. Our new COB's last assignment before military retirement was as the highest ranking American officer on the NATO mission training the Afghan National Army. They didn't speak the same language, some of them hated each other's guts and most couldn't read and write. He doesn't need ideal circumstances in order to execute his mission.
Three points--severe problems are great opportunities, high risk equals high reward and don't mistake cold deliberation for passivity, impotence or incompetence (not talking about Glenn here).
