Folks, I must say that I am really disheartened and, yes, more than a bit frustrated reading some of these SI FTEL posts as of late. Now, I was gratified to get some good responses from the lengthy post I wrote a couple days ago, and I thank again all those that responded. Also, I don't expect everyone to agree with my "realistically optimistic" attitude about Franklin. It's a free country, and everyone is surely entitled to his or her opinion. But... I really am amazed at the shallow content of some of the negative posts I've been wading through--some even from long-time contributors who I'd think should know better (and will remain nameless). I'm not worried about FTEL's current price AT ALL. And I think anyone who IS worried about a company that has experienced a 3-fold increase over the past year (from $1.50 to $4.50) must not know much about Stock Investing--surely not OTC:BB investing. For those who bought in higher than the current (repeat: Current) price (say, from $5.00-$10.50): HANG ON, will ya? As I stated before, I first bought in at FTEL's then-high of $5.81 only to see it lose 70 percent of its value. 70 PERCENT. But I continued to buy even as the price dropped. Why? MY OWN DD. In the COMPANY. Sure enough, the price rose. And will again. People, grow up a little. Not trying to be negative, but this baby stuff just irks me no end. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. You either know what company you're invested in or not. How about considering these current low prices a holiday GIFT and consider buying more FTEL "on sale" if you can? Bargain-hunting is the term, I believe. This is all just too silly. Thanks RB and bg for continuing to post here. Shalom all, and sorry for my (temporary) negativity! It'll pass...
