I wonder how many others on the thread sold today but didn't post because they didn't want to deal with this type of attitude. I doubt that Kevin is the one guy who sold that huge whack of shares . . . somebody did and they didn't post it . . . . hmmmmm. I'm sure there's a few people on this thread who might fit the bill . . . . not naming names. I appreciate honest posters like Kevin . . . I didn't find anything wrong with his post. Honesty is certainly worth thanking somebody for especially when it is so rare. Lola:)

Hi! No use getting yourself upset Ari, the stock is in play now. All the Kevins, Condors, Ari's, Lolas etc etc aren't going to make it or break it now. It will evolve on its own merits and the actions in between are temporary blips on the radar screen. Crack a beer, hug the wife, kiss the kids, read a book. Go slow, make nice. :o) Best regards, Condor

<<< Kevin, I remember several posts stating how much you believed in the management and the company's potential... I guess you were in for the flip after all>> Ari, with due respect, I think you're off base here. I will openly post what I believe and post my thoughts at the time I believe it. This approach involves both the upside and downside potential that I see at that time. It is my own contribution to the discussion at best, and at the least may give others food for thought...especially when I screw up! When something new is presented, as there was today, I will re-evaluate the situation to the best of my ability at that time and make my best decision upon it. It is always the "right" decision? No, of course not....but it is always my best one, and it is decisive. When I couldn't make personal sense of the Environmental company decision by JDX, I began to re-evaluate. I ran different scenarios in my head and couldn't come up at that time with the answer for myself. As noted, since the market close I have credited Keith with coming up with a plausible scenario as to why JDX would be in this enviro-company. I think if you go and re-read this post, you will get the sense that I accepted Keith's idea...and enough so that it may have changed my decision to sell at the time. Of course, this is in hindsight now. Was I in just for the fast flip as you say? No. I was "in" until I no longer felt comfortable based on the news and personal thoughts I had at the time. It happened that this took place today. It could have been the day after I bought the stock in the first place. It could have been months from now. Again, I want to re-emphasize that I think Keith's explanation is plausible. Now I could easily just sit back, (now being on the outside of JDX shares) and hope it tanks and then scoop em up again, but instead I am here saying that I think Keith may be right, and that I would like a few of those sold shares back <g>. I have also said that I hope all those who are in JDX continue to do well and that the price moves far forward from these levels. Kind regards Ari. Kevin
