Gregg stated early on that he felt his SI posting to be somewhat tenuous legally, that his firm's lawyers were uneasy, watchful and reluctantly tolerant. There was a war ongoing, and Gregg Powers' public voice defended Q and IJ, exposed Ericsson's and their analyst-shills' disinformation, and clarified the inevitables in crystal clear analytic terms. Personally, I violated all my well developed diversification and margin rules when he wrote "We got 'em!". His posts faded with the big rise in Q stock, as his clients' stake in Q rose to percentages of holdings untenable with the firm's guidelines. Unlike many, he did not write positives in the afternoon and sell the next morning. Besides, the war was won. I think we'll see Gregg from time to time, especially with big thinking if short term negative stuff becomes temporarily overwhelming, and hopefully just for a surprise visit now and again.

<<departure of Gregg Powers. I would like to request that the thread discuss ways of persuading Gregg Powers to return to posting about Q. A thread-wide "petition"? >> Is it possible we could meet with him at the Annual Meeting? I would assume he'd be there. Maybe someone who attended last year could confirm. I suspect he enjoyed the interaction here a great deal. Cooters
