<It boils down to a bad investment on my (an others) part.>
Hi Joe:
You are not the alone! We all have made bad investments.
This writer especially has! However, with your many qualities,
each of witch I consider a gift, you certainly do not and will
not have difficulty to make good investments.
In the past few days, I have gone back and read some of your earlier posts. Visited your web site. Enjoyed your "white paper." And have
been awed by your unbounded talent and tireless pursuit.
Oh, what endless energy you have! What desire! What purity of heart
in this heartless world of stock market! You Sir, are one of the few who believes a share holder can make a difference! That he can turn
a company around and actually take steps to do it. I admire your idealism, diligence, tireless work, technical knowledge and above all, your passion.
Well, what then--with all the above qualities-is wrong?
NOTHING!
You said it yourself: You made a "bad investment." That is all!
It was YOUR money. It was YOUR selection . It did not work.
You paid for it (the tuition) and now it is finished--except
for the experience. Your are free. You are the better for it and because of it--if the reasons for the bad investment are identified, isolated and replaced by NEW and better conscious and later subconscious thoughts. I say these humbly and because have been there. I know... I know the pain of being lied to by a CEO--face to face, over dinner... Loosing a friend is more painful than loosing money.
What helped me improve my bad investment (!?) was: SIMPLIFICATION.
I simplified by doing less, focusing more, narrowing investment style, being selective in market association, privatizing (not telling people
what I bought or sold. That is why I post under a screen name!)
I also, stopped recommending stocks, even to my best friends. Oh,
what freedom!
Alas, all the above improvements can not make up for my lack of TT-- time and talent. :-)) I am not being humble here. Give me half of what you know or can do and I will give you 100% returns regularly!? You, Scott, Frederick, Paul and other knowledgeable people on this board are a "dream." I wish I could say a "dream team." May be from now on! LOL
I wish to go on, but my flu and bad back do not allow me to continue. May be more later... For the time being, keep the flame burning and lets stay focused so, if and when this THING called Novell turns around we buy it and get paid for our efforts. <G>
Most humbly written,
High Regards
