OK Voltman.

Time to turn things around.

I think I have irritated enough people by getting my point across here. Let's keep this thread focused on the true fundamentals of the company and the true future of our wealth.

I know folks want to be comforted by sweeping , short term predictions, but they really have no place in serious investing. Just my opinion of course. We can debate that too. But as growing investors, we should begin to realize that the myopic focus on our hopes to find direction in a stock price to make us feel better is a path to disaster. One needs to find the right company (a difficult job) and constantly spend energy on reconfirming the story. THAT is what needs to be looked at.

We have all seen way too many people using short term predictions here to their peril. No need to re-visit those. We all have our own styles, but the odds on favorite is hanging tough through the tough times and adding if resources present themselves.

I've been cutting back on GBLX during this recent rise, cutting some losses on GSTRF, taking some money out of JDSU/ETEK and PMCS because I feel there may be better opps coming up and I needed the money to buy more Q. Some of these moves have paid off, some haven't...but my confidence in Jacobs and Q itself calms my fears and allows me to dig sprinkler trenches in peace. THAT is what an investment should do.

I still like the wood nymphs, but I'll retire them if you will accept my own cybershake to you. May be hard to believe, but I am serious. No need to descend into what it appears we are descending into. Perhaps the best thing to do is just stay out of each other's way. I think everyone is rather clear what we think about each other's ideas.

On to good humor and success in the wireless world.
