Whenever there is a sharp sell off in the market, as was the case today, I feel that many investors do the same thing that I do. They take another good look at their holdings in many of the stocks they have in their portfolio, and they look for ones that don't have the potential to weather the storm. They also look for ones that have a tremendous potential for growth.
One of the primary reasons that I post on this and other threads is that it helps me better understand the company behind the shares that I own. I know that some investors have horse shoes up their butt, and that without doing much work, many of the things that they touch work out for them. Have I told you that I can't stand people like that. <VBG> Fortunately, these people are few and far between. I believe that the more successful investors over the longer term are the ones who spend the time to gather the information they need to make informed decisions. I also believe that the decisions we are making now can and will have a tremendous impact on the quality of life we will or will not enjoy in the future. I don't know about those investors who have the horse shoes, but I know I don't, so it is important that the vast majority of investments that I make for my family's future will be based on solid information rather than on a hot tip or a hunch.
On that note, I want to tell you that I have spent the past few days re-reading many of the more relevant posts that have been contributed to this discussion thread. After doing this, I can tell you that I am totally convinced that if this company can deliver on its potential then we as shareholders in it will see a tremendous return on our investment in it.
In order to help any other new investors to the thread to see for themselves just what I am talking about, I have updated the collection of the more significant posts and Press Releases which have been posted on this thread since its beginning.
This collection can be found on the next post on this thread. Once again, by compiling and re-reading this information, I found that this exercise has once again helped me to fully appreciate the potential here.
That said, please don't look to this thread as your only source of research on this stock. Speaking completely on my own behalf, I want to say that I know I have missed something in my zeal to post. I strongly recommend that new investors use this information as just a source of information, and you compliment it with research of your own. Besides, much of what was contributed was put onto the thread by those of us who will benefit if we attract more buyers to the stock.
I guess to sum up, I'll say that I am pounding the table on this company, and the next post explains much of the reasoning why, but please remember to sell yourself on it, don't let me or others do it for you.
