*Post winter meanderings on a Minnesota Sunday*
All,
Spring is a pallid green here for most of us still holding DCTC. Even though DCI has been a sad disappointment in most respects, I know that many of us are still planning on holding for a summer bloom or autumn harvest.
Our thread here is understandably sparse with any kind of enthusiasm. I thought it might be a good time to take another litmus test/poll on our present intentions and general commentary on our personal views of DCI?
IMO, neither the recent newsletter nor web site tells us anything meaningful as to where we really are as a company. I commented on this to Investor Relations and the political reply to me was that,... "the newsletter was informative and that is exactly what a newsletter is supposed to be." I could say the same thing for a gum wrapper or product labeling for organic Altoids. They, at least, would have some tangible sweetness during their readings.
Sans any emergency here at home, I'm personally planning on holding for about 60-90 days to see if anything starts to raise the share value of DCI. Unsubstantiated "right around the corner" or "10-12 days" articulate (or inarticulate) rumored news of our renaissance (less than a valid press release) won't be given any degree of appreciable credibility. Such previous news has created its own water level.
I've composed a 1 to 5 opinion poll below. Like before, if you want to participate you can either post your choice here on the thread or if you want to stay anonymous send it to me on SI's Private Message or to my e-mail address george@georgebigelow.com. All privately received messages will be kept confidential.
As before (assuming we have a respectable response like last two times) I'll give updates and then a final total on April 15th-which sees like an appropriate finale! <g>
I feel bad for all of us choosing to hold right now. So many families are currently faced with either a massive loss or tying up just enough money to make it uncomfortable to a hardship. Let's hope Joe and Company have noble surprises in store. In the interim, maybe we can lend a little ambient light and comfort to each other here.

Choose one number that best describes your current feeling as a DCI shareholder. If you're feeling "in the middle" of, let's say 2 and 3, a 2.5 is acceptable, but keep it to .5's for decimals. I wasn't all that good in math. Post just a number or feel free to add your own comments.
---------------------------------------------
1. I sold, I'm gone, adios, finito. I would rather shave my head with a power saw than think about DCI.
2. I've sold some DCTC and am holding the rest as partial pain lets one know one is alive. I also enjoy paper cuts.
3. I'm holding all shares. I'm not happy but sort of "OK" with my DCTC-as this latter day, resulted neutral/numb feeling leaves one with an odd euphoric vacancy in the brain akin to that third shot of Novocain.
4. I'm holding, and smiling with quasi confidence. Having just listened to my 19th Wayne Dyer tape, I am acutely aware of Chopra's quantum philosophy, the possibilities of the universe, DCI and the trivialities of keeping all your hair-unless you're Tony Robbins.
5. I'm slopping over with happiness holding my DCTC and may even buy more...today...on E-bay. Based on all that has happened, my confidence is "a-glowing" and I see a remarkably colorful future, Easter Lily, cat...and TV. Also the Prozac brownies are quite tasty and it's my opinion that Nixon has a good chance in November.

OK. I may be kidding with the comments, but the actual poll and 1-5 in degrees of confidence is serious. Try to keep bright hearts!
Onward,
