SargeK,
That was a bit unfair to Big Dog.
Haven't you ever had a stock or company you have changed your mind on?
OOPS, well, I guess maybe not, ggg.

Big Dog did not refer to you in particular, but you responded disparagingly and personally to one who I believe most here would consider your better. In that I am referencing stock picks of public record.

I used to be a fan of FGI and even FGH but I got out quite awhile back and made up the loss. I used to debate with Slider about the value of FGH. I changed my mind because FGH changed. Not the first or last time I'll be wrong, but I got over it!

Don't bother picking through my back posts, because I will never reply to or read from another one of your posts, so I won't know it and wouldn't care anyway.

Congratulations, you are the first person I have ever put on SI IGNORE!

Totally disgusted,

Roebear

Sarge, Things change over time - markets change, companies change, events change.

I call 'em like I see 'em at the time I see 'em. It's called honesty. JL has told me that he understands that I don't always praise the company...he's a big boy, and is much less sensitive to critical comments re FGH than are you. He will at least admit there are/were some problems at FGH...something you seem to not choose to do. (And I have said nothing here that I haven't told FGH in person.)

I don't have any clout. I just know them and sometimes do some business with them. And I also have opinions which I sometimes share. That's all.

o/t Someone in the Tyler Tx area - get SargeK a large horse tranquilizer - asap !

C'Mon Sarge - this aint the "home team" - this is your retirement savings, your grandchildren's college fund, your kids inheritance, the little woman's trip to Hawaii money that you've blown here by this:

Sarge - this is a brain:
siliconinvestor.com

This is a brain on dope:
siliconinvestor.com

You are a hard working retired non-comm. I'm sure you have provided honorably for your family; but I don't think I'm off base by saying - you can't afford another Cityscape, HMAR and what FGH looks like on that above chart.

Sarge; if ANYONE needs to learn the lesson of diversifying and of not getting emotionally attached to one company & one stock to where for the 3rd time; it literally not only dominates all of your posts, your portfolio, but also your life - it's you !

You are beyond emotionally involved here Sarge; you need professional help, you really, really do.

This is beyond an obsession and given Cityscape, HMAR and now FGH - that you have an obsessive/compulsive disorder is a moot point.

I've seen mothers defend their young to a lesser degree than you do Holloway...

Get professional psycho-emotional help; don't do it for us - do it for you (VBG) ~

Your welfare and emotional health are more important than chasing the dragon here Sarge. Walk away; buy a mutual fund - turn off the computer, go plant a garden this spring, take the little lady on a vacation, teach the grandkids to fish, volunteer at the homeless shelter; do something - anything to break the cycle of addiction...

Just say No - to FGH; walk away Sarge - why do you think they call it dope ?
