"I believe---make that, I know I have had a logical counterpoint to every "problem" you have come up with. I still do not understand why you claim to own Loral while doing your best to knock G. " I own both LOR and GSTRF. In fact, I think GSTRF is probably the superior system, however, it is too close to call. When I beleived that a launch failure was not a significant risk, you corrected me. You pointed out information I did not have and I changed my mind. However, with a number of topics that have come up lately, the response to the issues I'm bringing up are not rational. I am not "knocking" G, I am trying to find out everything I can to improve my confidence in investing more. There is an aweful lot of broad, unsupported, assertions made on the net. People love to talk about the stock they love. However, if you are going to make a rational decision, you have to investigate the downside and find out all the possible errors in the portrayal of the upside. My attempts to determine the weaknesses in G* and I* have been met with, what I feel is, a lot of hype and not much substance. For instance- do you think I should spend my money on a stock simply because this articulate guy readware recommends it? If not, then why is questioning his motives and/or logic such a controversial thing to do? Dragonfly
