Craig, I like what you have written, so very much. To be honest, I have yet to read anything from you that has ever been even remotely arrogant or prideful, quite the contrary. But the tone and sincereity of this last post is exactly the reason that I was first drawn to CDIV and the Den in the first place. Ironically, what initially got my attention on those boards had nothing to do with the actual stock. It was the respect, honesty and consideration that I sensed from the people who were posting that made me want to find out more. Actually, BillyJack was my first contact and he was so very kind and welcoming.
Float lock downs may come and go and investors can make big money. But I feel that the incredible comradery of this CDIV team is what makes this FLD truly remarkable, and ultimately, historic in its execution.
It has to be frustrating to explain the same points, answer the same questions and have to reassure over and over again. But to all who have done so, please know that is is MOST appreciated. Even though I am definitely in this for "as long as it takes" and I feel that I "get it", those red and sideways days can start to mess with your head. This board has made me feel like I have a personal coach throughout the day. You and others have stated what would happen before it happened, plus you provided a play by play description as the day played out. I cannot begin to tell you how helpful and supportive that has been!!
I guess what I'm saying, Craig, is that you have honed in on the real strength of this team. It is that strength that will not only keep it a cohesive group until the CDIV squeeze but it will also engage new investors throughout the process.
Many thanks to you, Craig, and to all who have helped and encouraged so many of us, it is truly appreciated.
