Good post; I can't help replying. I mostly read one of the QCOM threads these days, giving G&K only a cursory check, because QCOM is about a company and a market that's dynamic, which is always more satisfying to be a part of that something that feels moribund. My take only, of course.
I'll share something else as well, embarrassing as it is. I bought RBAK @ 120, it was down from about 200 (I bought ITWO as well, somewhere around 50) mostly because of the numerous discussions on this thread (and Value Line had an excellent review as well) Bruce Brown in particular had a lot of good things to say about them, wrote quite inspiringly about the whole NGN area. Anyway it went to a buck and change.
$1.17
And I have a thousand shares.
And Bruce Brown starts writing about technical analysis and Stan Weinstein and the like.
Now, I'm casting no blame, Bruce (and by extension the whole thread) is free to evolve in any way he will, maybe I misunderstood him (and others) all along. Still, it is painful to come here.
Inspiring stories are out, dry as toast discussions are in. Maybe when the hail stops falling and the weather clears up we can leave this moldy basement and play in the sun again.
(PS- is it only my impression or did things really start to go wrong a year ago, what with the red states and the blue states and the election-that-just-wouldn't-end?)
Peace. |
