Pareto lets brawl right now

LOL I know you are not against me personally, neither is the case vice versa! I think that differences in opinion only serve to buttress the intelligent decision making process that is crucial to everyone, and makes everyone stop and think and be better investors. For instance, your point of view is very well taken with me. I take your information to heart. If I or anyone only thought one way with blinders and had no flexibility to adapt their thinking, there would be no point in either posting or reading what others had to say. My modus operandi is to consider all sides and arguments in investing, and try to remain pretty neutral and objective. Anything else is a set up for dissapointment. But that is just my style.

You will not convince me that missing out at very minor cost on the largest technology conference of the year is OK, just as I probably won't convince you of other things. Your arguments for building the business is very compelling, yet I can't help but think that golden opportunities are still squandered. Not everything a company does or management does are correct, especially newer ones.

I maintain that the Prudential appearance by Keister was a poor substitute, and actually was the only time in the last 6 months I have heard either him or Russ present at a conference. The market has a very short attention span.

I also am quite disturbed by the potential devastating inroads Yahoo might make soon on the Broadband front in this group (Post 19,130) and how this would make any effect here. Falling behind the curve makes it o-so hard to overcome in business anymore, and I repeat, the Street hates uncertainty and being left in the dark. Closing below very important support for the week is a crushing blow for the stock here. There is no way around it.

You have convinced me of one thing, that you are a great person at least as far as we know, and that Chile would definitely be a great place to visit!

Regards and have a good weekend.
