Like Fringe said (for the most part), Ed's pretty tight lipped. I was never able to get through to him last year (before news started coming out and this stock rallied).
Optimistic? Perhaps. I personally like the odds of making money on this stock at the current time. I don't control this stock nor the markets...but, think this stock could pop in a big way...because, of it's sector/Ed's other co./more good news (hopefully, with substance) and maybe a lot of short covering. I continue to hold and accumulate this stock.
