If it bothers you so much stop being a pompous nanny and contribute something of your own for a change.

What a sad little stock this is, plummeting after the Barron's article. As far as criticism, it's totally fair to call out unrealistic optimism, especially when it comes from someone pretending to be what he is not. In fact, you will see that I explained in detail why this stock CANNOT grow 25 percent a year for the next 20 years. We have seen discussions of ABC ratings fiasco, Buffett dumping (called a "confirmation" by the faux-barrister), and the Barron's article. These are far more substantiative than your recent kvetches which in fact contain no useful information. I can see why we had a revolution. It wasn't the 3 percent tea tax. It was the incessant nagging.
