Everyone's already said what I was going to say, except:
How you ask a question is as important as what's in it. I have no objection to criticism, to questions they might be construed as "negative", or comments which might bring limiting factors into view. No stock is perfect, all companies have advantages and disadvantages, and all such discussion is legitimate. But adopting a style that's unnecessarily harsh, even to the point of rudeness, is pointless and in poor taste.
This is the first time I've seen a Company President personally answering questions on a message board, and I have to say the answers have in every case been clear, concise, and entirely credible. I think we should be treating Mr. Fischer with at least the same degree of respect we'd give anyone else on the thread. If someone asked me a question, and someone else jumped on with "hey, how about it" 20 minutes later, I'd be seriously tempted either to walk away from the thread or flame the guy a good one. And we don't want either of those to happen.
I'd like to think I have a pretty clear overview of the positives and the negatives on this stock, and on balance I think it's an excellent investment. I'm willing to discuss this opinion - in civil fashion - with anyone, including those who disagree with me. But let's do it with a little common courtesy, no?
