Welcome to the sour grapes thread!

Ray, these guys will be in denial even after it hits the 20's. Can't you just picture them: retired English Lit professors, typing from their dimly-lit, mahogony-trimmed offices, in their leather recliners, smoking their pipes, with their fuzzy pink slippers on. "Don't call me stupid," they say. "Call me inadequately apportioned." (it's just an image I have--not meant to be offensive to english lit professors)

Funny how they plead for scruples from the thread whilst being unscrupulously manipulated by their company's officers. I guess scruples in that form don't matter. Strange the way the human mind has the capacity to rationalize anything.

The last view I had for this company:

has now been revised downward. Things have only gotten worse. Now it's beyond the clear fundamental deterioration and into ethical (and probably legal) issues. Generally these things run rampant so I expect we don't even know the half of it yet. It's going to be cut in half again by the time all the ramifications of their games are out on the table. I'm glad I listened to my gut (and FredE) and pitched this bag of snakes. How can people hold this stock in the face of all this, I ask? Someone please explain.

The odd thing is I feel even more compelled to follow it closely now, compared to when I owned it.
