<<You guys certainly should be commended for sticking with these stocks for such a long time.>>
Actually, most "outside" posters who say anything at all seem to "commend" us with back handed compliments that suggest we are rather foolishly stubborn. And many of us have diversified our investments outside of the DD sector, though we have found enough cameraderie on these threads to continue posting, and, for some of us, continue to hold some of our positions.

Also, being involved in the DD sector seems at times like an addiction. Just ask pioneers like, e.g., Tom Mitchell, Jugi Tandon, or Finis Conner. At least smart ones like Al Shugart and James Vanderslice appear to have left with their reputations and fortunes intact.
