George,
Regarding your comment: "Seriously (if that's possible) for everyone close to this issue to just up and leave this thread does not bode well with me"
Although several people have left the thread, at least temporarily, I seriously doubt if any of the people "close to this issue" have walked away from a single share of DCI stock.
I know I haven't, have no plans to, and will buy more if and when I can -- even though I too am down about 40% [since I managed to "average up" during our November run :-( ].
Personally, several things contributed to me posting less: (1) I got turned off because I feel during at least Jan.-Feb. this forum had been used in a manipulative manner by one or more people (who shall remain unnamed); (2) I don't like to see people's integrity publicly impugned on a board like this; (3) I don't like to see people publicly ridiculed (sometimes even for asking legitimate questions); and (4) I don't like to see people throwing temper tantrums.
So, basically, I didn't like what I considered to be manipulation a while back and I got tired of the totally unnecessary negativity that seemed to begin to "blossom" a couple of weeks ago. The negativity -- coupled with the fact the stock price hasn't been anything to write home about -- has made it easier to take the less emotionally exhausting route of just staying away.
Now if you could just boot your little sidekick (yeah, that one) once and for all so we could get the stock price out of the doldrums, I'd bet moods would start to improve and we'd probably start seeing signs of "the old thread" begin to reappear again (!). Personally, I think this will happen when we see our Q4 results and/or start seeing closure on one or more of our LOIs (if not before).
Again -- and of course just take it as my opinion only but -- I'd be extremely surprised if any of the "long timers" have walked away from one single share! I'd also be surprised if any of them has let a single word on this thread go unread (g).
Dan
Note: Per one of my last posts, did you ever check that holy water to see if it was "certified", e.g., it didn't come out of an Evian bottle did it? (I bet Damien knows what that word spelled backwards means). |
