Jay,

Thank you for the data and the results and findings.

Three reality checks for the ANCR thread have occurred recently:

stock's trend over the last month

the latest earnings report

Correlating ANCR thread's estimates vs the latest earning's report.

Ironically, some of ANCR's most eBULLient hypsters were perfect contra-indicators.

2020's preoccupation with who will "eat crow" set aside, these findings reveal among several things that tolerating hype or unreasonable expectations and tolerating brow-beating and taunting others' contrary viewpoints on a thread is hard on the portfolio and on the ego.

Jay, you have done the thread an excellent service: a reality check which was done by the board itself. The results of the correlation may have been "distasteful" to some members of the thread, but I congratualate the memebers of this thread: it took courage to do this out in the open (you could have done it via email). Congratulations to everyone. But particularly to you, Jay: it must have been very difficult to do what you did, i.e. to follow through on the project even though your own estimates fared so poorly. I very much admire the fortitude you displayed in your follow through.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." I believe that.
Best wishes, everyone.

Ed
