To all: A tale of tears.

Not to many years ago when I was young and naive I came across a small company that was starting out. They rented a small room in the back of a building in a strip mall. They had five employees and worked on picnic benches. When they got approval to sell stock I bought a hand full of it. When they grew to twenty employees the stock took a jump. They had made no money and everyone said the company would be eating up and spit out by the big boys. The giants in the industry. With the potential sale of one of their products their stock took a jump. Everyone that had a opinion told me to sell, sell, sell. Finally when I had made a $10,000 profit I bailed out. Why shouldn't I have. The company was almost broke, the competition was too powerful, and they would never get their product into the market. And the stock had a worthless negative basis with respect to the company. So $10,000 profit looked mighty good to a young and naive kid. I sold and walked away and have cried ever since. I never bought back in because the stock was always, what did they say, overpriced. Well today my stocks in that overpriced company would not be worth a profit of $10,000 I instead would have $268 million. I hadn't learned that the reason I bought stock in a company that had five employees originally was because I believed in their product and what they were doing. Oh by the way that small shop that started with five employees now holds 15,000. It's called EMC. Anyone ever heard of it? I am not going to let the likes of Mike Sorenson talk me out of this one. I am a physician I see women every day with breast cancer. I know the potential that this technology has to help improve the lives of countless of thousands of women. I also know that in the small town that I work in that only has one hospital there are five mammography machines. With over 5600 hospitals in the United States and countless more breast centers I will not let this we ripped out of my hands. I believe in what the company is trying to do and I will ride this one to the end.
