gfp,

What bothers me about your posts lately is that you are obsessively trying to get absolute certainty about an issue where there are no absolutes. Investing is about making bets based on uncertain information. If there is no risk, there is no reward. By the time you have absolute certainty, the information is already priced in - so no reward. 10 or 15 years from now we will know how the Cortex story turned out. But we have to make our investment decision here and now.

Gfp, how can you make a living, let alone keep abreast of all you must know to be a successful investor, when you piss away the time you do on this board? And how do you avoid boredom while rehashing the same matters in almost the same words ad infinitum?

Once you told me, “Give it a rest.” I won’t say the same to you, because how you spend your time is your own business. But I will tell you that while I used to read all of your posts rather carefully, I now only sometimes scan them, and most I skip entirely.

Your quibbles are insignificant measured against the subject of dilution, which is almost the only subject about which we stockholders, were we to be alert to protect our investments, might have a meaningful voice.
