Please be patient just a few more weeks. I am confident that Bill will have some very good announcements to make, maybe all bundled into one as he has been doing lately. I am confident that 1999 will be the big turn around year for GRNO.

First of all, at the present time I own no GRNO shares.
Second, I feel no animosity toward Charles. He's posted a lot of interesting (perhaps useful) information. I know of no reason to think that he's been anything but straightforward.
However, I view comments like the quote above with a sardonic eye. If it's based on some non-public information...well, we've been down that path before, and it wasn't a very good trip.
If it's just general optimism, and a feeling that GRNO represents such a great technology, and Bill is such a great, talented, determined guy, that it just has to succeed...well, we've been down that path also, and that wasn't a good trip either.
Of course it's possible that GRNO will rise phoenix-like from the ashes and be a great success. But I'm not very enthusiastic about vague messages of hope and optimism. Show me the money.
But then I don't own any stock any more. Maybe for those who still hold GRNO shares, such statements make the ordeal easier to bear.
Your mileage may vary. |
