Glenn: I couldn't agree more. If a stock goes from $3 to $150 then at least on a price basis things have gone great and a little volcalizing is in order. On the other hand, when the reverse happens and a stock plummets to the earth in price, it serves no purpose to deny ever having been bullish when this is obviously not true and at the same time insist that your decision was a wise one anyway because the stock has great fundamentals or something absurd like that. What we are learning both here on this thread as well as in the accounting practices of companies is that truth has been in short supply -- the twisting and turning to avoid the truth is part of an unhealthy pattern that needs to be broken with a little honesty and integrity -- including the straight forward recognition that all of us can be and are wrong sometimes, and some of us have been very, very wrong indeed.
