Boomersooner, not a move to the middle. Still hopeful after all these years. I believe we are now experiencing a specific unpleasant situation of limited duration.
bigworld, time will tell. Don't misunderstand me. If this company went under, I would feel bad. It is just that I do not believe this "worst case" is in the cards despite the impression one might have from the share price.
For some reason, the current situation reminds me of a joke. Having asked for their daughter's hand, the prospective groom comes into the study for "the talk" with her father. The father asks how the young man intends to provide for his daughter. (The joke is a bit old fashioned). Deeply religious, the young man has one stock answer whichever way the father broaches the subject: "The Lord will provide". After the "chat", the young couple is on their way and the wife asks the husband how the talk went. The husband thinks for a minute, trying to put the best face on it. "At least, he is a respectful young man. He kept calling me Lord!"
