Craig,
I feel your pain. ;^)
An Ancor Romance - Reconciling Consolidation
As much as I love Ancor, I was more in love with the idea of investing in a leading edge fibre channel technology company more than I was with investing in the actual company itself. I adored and worshipped projected qualities in her despite her very real blemishes. I believed that from deep down in her glowing fibre channel core a bright and shining quality could burst forth and flood my portfolio with her packets of grace.
My insight, my vision, my faith would cry hosannas heavenward and I would then live the kind of life that only emotional riches and knowing that you are right can bring.
Then I kind of ran into her parents and realized that she had a lot of stuff to burst through first.
Now I see her fragile being budding and realize that if she is to ever achieve full bloom, she needs the assistance and nurturing of an other, other than I, even if it means jumping wholesale into his encompassing arms.
I can now only hope for a worthy partner, a fair return, and a fruitful union, and be eternally thankful that I was there when she was disrespectfully cast down by cruel relatives, to lift her back up by the sleeves from the bottom of the traders' pit.
The Moral: Take a win any day? Better to have loved and won than to have loved and lost?
A $14 to $4 Stalwart,
