>>Guys, I don't know whether to apologize for starting a 'war' here or to be glad I have started some conversation and controversy going.<<
No apologies needed, and no wars either. (My opinion).
I was merely having fun with the bulldozer thingy, you know all those seeds, quiet growth, farmer talk, etc. etc.
>>But... messages like the one last Friday where someone talked to Helen and Nasdaq was supposed to get back to FTEL by the end of the day...today is Wednesday already. I know, they probably didn't say which Friday, but this leaves questions in my mind I'd like answered.<<
My own opinion:
I do not know the details as to why FTEL is taking the strategy taken.
Some thoughts:
1. May be they are working on something big that requires a number of technical questions answered before going ahead. May be not.
2. May be the news yesterday about the DOJ (Department of Justice), looking closer at the MCI/WCOM deal may have something to do with FTEL's plans, may be not.
3. May be they have encountered other details that need re-assessing. May be not.
4. May be we are a bunch of babies that can not take the heat of investing in penny-stocks, we are accustomed to "instant gratification", (as in thinking that "instant caf‚ takes too long"). May be not.
5. The FTEL employees in many instances can not disclose much of the information they know, they have to be very careful with that.
The fact that many of the SH call FTEL's office, asking, asking, asking, the same question over and over, etc., is sometimes ridiculous.
The business world is not a clear cut thing that "according to the manual" if we add: c + h + u + c + k, then it will necessarily will yield "chuck" it may actually mean Charles, or whatever.
After all, no one really knows what the hell "xyz" means. Right?
Sometimes things get "delayed", schedules are "pushed back" etc.
On top of that to be answering every phone call from the next "Yahoo", asking about nasdaq, it has got to be getting "t-i-r-i-n-g".
6. Nasdaq no doubt will eventually be important, but I believe that having a more solid achievement backing up the Nasdaq announcement, (in order to have a "follow through"), may be more important, even to the point of considering a "delay".
Again may be, may be not.
Assuming we have established a plan or strategy for our respective investments, then we must follow such strategy, then we can proceed with the following thought.
The bottom line comes down to one of the following three (3) choices:
1. Whatever is best for you, buy, sell or hold. you decide.
2. Whatever is best for you, buy, sell or hold. you decide.
3. Whatever is best for you, buy, sell or hold. you decide.
I know, incredible wisdom! (yet another Sage thinking for Mr. Garaffa).
Yes, exchanging thoughts and ideas here is good. For example:
>>With Nasdaq I assume. Would love to light fire under them but know that isn't possible.<<
Now, that is an idea!! I love them bureaucrats on fire!
So in summary, I think Ftel may go up, then again it may also go down, and very possibly also, it may stay right where it is.
Yet, more wisdom... |
