Hi Folks (Reid this is not directed to you, but is a message to all)
Just got back from being gone for a week. Being gone is good for the soul and from what I have seen on this board upon my return indicates to me that some of you ought to get away more often!
TKA - The real deal. No phony stuff there. He can defend himself better than I so I won't bother any longer with that, but he is an honest straightforward individual. I don't give those compliments out lightly. If you have not talked to him personally or exchanged lots of email, I suggest you withhold your opinion from a public forum unless you care to defame yourself. Remember our reputation's are the only thing we have on these boards. Those who defame without proper knowledge upfront shall lose their reputations the quickest and it would not be the first time on these boards.
Did not listen to the conference call, nor do I intend to at this point. I have read what you have written and it all sounds good. It appears we have an honest to goodness manager and CEO now. That is great.
I will be watching the stock price for clues as to when it is time to return to the fold. It will probably be soon, but it is not quite time yet. For the fundamentalists out there, the rumblings you are hearing are the real thing. This is the time to buy if you buy on a fundamental basis. I will be waiting to see the money start to flow into this stock and then jump with both feet for the re-rise to $10 or so.
With regards to gambling ventures in Wisconsin, it would surprise me, but then again that seems to be a normal state of affairs with this company. To my knowledge the only gambling in the state is on Indian reservations and is black jack and slots. The bingo halls are normally small time operations, unless run by the Indians as in Milwaukee where they have Potowatami Bingo which is a big operation. Heck, give Orton a call someone. He will tell you.
Glad to see things are returning to normal. Larry, it will be fun to be back to the point where you can buy this stock on any given day and within 4 weeks have a 20% return! Boy, that was fun. Just remind me to sell some along the way this time, OK?????
-Scott
