"... mixing teen schoolgirl infatuation with making money om emotionless numbers crunching doesn't go well hand in hand, think you need to have an approach free from emotions that judges actions and promises."

From my experience, often the result of being overextended and too heavily invested in a single company. It goes back to the proverbial "head in the sand" or looking at things through rose-coloured glasses adage.

Unchecked optimism has been an expensive lesson for me.

Stolpen--At least I have been consistent in my attitude whereas you have been all over the board over the last several months. Proverbial piece of straw that broke the camel's back in your case. What was that piece of straw anyway? If memory serves it was S's super-voting rights. Certainly a "professional" like you who "goes just by the numbers" should have been aware of that condition from the outset.

As for world-class shareholders it's ugly to see people asking for world-class performance (which they are getting in the business arena anyway) when they make no pretension of being world-class themselves as shareholders. Doesn't it bother you that RD, who calls S a savage, is going to profit from his genius? It used to bother you a lot. It bothers me. This is not a "buy your ticket, get your ride" relationship we have w/ Solomon; it's mutual, and we owe him something too that is not satisfied by constant bad-mouthing.

Here we have a company that may increase every shareholder's wealth 100x in the next few years, something that most here may never see again, that has almost doubled in value in a couple of weeks--and you'd never have any idea that was true from reading this board, which is constantly plagued by the most boring and mundane complaints. If you want to call that judgment my "love affair", go ahead.
