Some general thoughts.
Each individual must buy, hold, or sell TSIG based on his/her own best judgment. Only he fully understands his financial situation, and only he knows how much risk is appropriate for him at this time. Thus, it is really inappropriate for anybody to make strong statements about somebody's decision to sell. It's a personal decision.
It is probably a prudent idea to toss in a statement about how risky TSIG is every so often. TSIG is not a suitable investment for everybody. I personally do not want to influence people to buy TSIG if it's unsuitable for them. Hopefully, later this year the risk level will drop, and we can more freely recommend TSIG.
I personally want to hear from all substantive posters. Some of my most surprising revelations have come from negative posters. I am interested in knowing what Zeev Hed thinks about this stock. I may not agree with everything he says, but I still want to know what he has to say. This goes for Ditch and Sword too. It is only appropriate to meet these people with at least the same level of civility they bring to the board. It has always concerned me that when posters are run off the board that someone has in effect censored my investment information. I object to censorship. Rebuttal is great; personal attacks are an attempt at censorship. Not to mention repulsive and offputting.
At various times last week when the company was possibly undergoing the most critical week of its existence, the posts dried up. Did no one have anything to say? The phones were busy, the PM's were flying back and forth, the e-mail crackled, and I was invited to "chat." It surprises me sometimes at the PM's I get that are of general interest to the thread. Why are people not posting on the thread? Obviously there are some things best kept private. What concerns me is that there is an air of intolerance, rudeness, and intimidation that discourages people from posting. I want to hear from a wide variety of people who share their views, their news, and their experiences. Basic civility will encourage more people to post. To those who have ideas, information, and opinions but have chosen not to post: you leave a vacuum on the thread; we know what happens when there is a vacuum.
It would be nice to see a PR early Tuesday morning announcing 2 new board members. It would be nice for this thread to turn its attention to the exciting developments occurring in this company. It would be nice to see some of the rumored deals lose the qualifier "rumored." Here's to a better week ahead.
Regards, Suzanne
