jfburk, I forgot to answer this part of your question:
"You buy what you are told that is negative and ignore anything positive about the company. My question to you is why you are here?"
I am here because I weigh all the facts on any company, both positive and negative, by doing this I have made a lot of money on GTE and plan to continue to do so. I neither pump nor bash....just trade with the flow.
You even said you would give them to the end of the year, which showed you are not all that confident. I would give them much more time....
Tomorrow should be a very good day...good luck.
