I actually don't take anybody at their word,... until I have good reason to think I can trust that word.
I generally follow that 'Trust, but verify.' adage.
That's why I have made a point of meeting Dr. Seymour and Dr. Diwan and why I correspond with Dr. Seymour regularly and chat with him occasionally on the telephone.
That's why - when I was invited up to Shelton to see the plant there - I drove myself up there on my own dime.
That's why I read the corporate filings, attempt to digest the contents, and integrate them into my thinking.
That's why I tend to ignore most of the conversation on message boards and focus in more on what I have seen for myself, and what I know from my experience and from what I have read.
That's why - since my visit to the Shelton plant back in May 2015 - I have considerably more than doubled the number of shares I hold.
Have a great Sunday,... time to go walk the dog and then get sh*t done!
