I'm not sure what I want to do with EIR yet. I like to watch stocks for a while before I jump in.

I wouldn't worry too much about an insurrection. The Irish weren't expecting a 100% gain, I'm sure. They're a rational folk, and I suspect the majority of them aren't watching the stock that closely. Also, the conventional wisdom seems to be, it can go down but over time it will appreciate a great deal. If you're completely unconcerned with short-term fluctuations, this stock will be great. (Although it isn't going anywhere, either way yet.)

I don't know why there are so many phone booths. I think they're exceptionally ugly, so maybe they stand out more. Some are as big as the TARDIS on Doctor Who. But most are inconspicuous.

Teddy, if you are patient, you will be rewarded. This is an established, well-run company in a great economy. I'm going to look for entry points before brokers start initiating coverage.

Teddy- It looks like the market cap is about $20b if I figured correctly. What are your thoughts on EIR, short and long term. I would like to hear your opinion.
