By the way...
I'm amazed at the level of DD on this board. I follow a number of other threads on S.I., (and Yahoo, but that doesn't really count :-))and the quality of thought and analysis on this board goes far beyond that of any of the others I've seen. Those other boards frequently sound like a sports commentator's play-by-play, "VTSS is up 1, oh rejoice. VTSS is down 1, oh gloom".
Thanks to all who work so hard to fill in the pieces of the 'risk vs. reward' puzzle with your thoughtful commentary and strong analysis. For me, this level of quality interaction makes being a GMGC investor much more fun and interesting.
Our situation right now, as we await some sort of positive news and upward stock movement, reminds me of stories of people stuck in an elevator during a power outage. You know that help is on the way, but you don't know when. It gets stuffy and uncomfortable, and occasionally somebody cracks. The group calms them back down. Eventually, though a voice comes over the intercom... It's Steve Markman! He's downstairs with a rescue squad. He's thanking us for our patience! He has personally rearchitected the city's power grid to get the elevator's moving again! And ... it's not just an elevator, it's now a Wonkavator! It's gaining speed ... it has burst through the roof! Oh my, isn't this the stratosphere? I see stars. It's a moonshot!
OK, back to reality. I guess what I'm trying to say, is if I'm going to be stuck in a damn elevator during a power outage, I'm glad it's with all of you.
Here's to a very successful 1999 to all of us!
Happy Holidays,
