>>the facts are as follows-we all rode this stock from 10 to 3 and change, during a time when the market was up nicely, the economic back drop seldom more positive for start-up companies, and anything associated with the internet undergoing exponential price appreciation.<<
Amen... and wait so, if the market tanks, boy, oh boy, is it going to be fun to pick good companies at indeed lower prices.
To those who are in the above situation, I sincerely hope that things turn around, I do not have any bad feelings towards FTEL from my part I sincerely hope they can do whatever it will take so the market pays attention.
Luckily for me I am not in the above. That does not preclude me to see things objectively and accept the MARKET reality.
The objective of the SI boards, at least the way I see it, is to explore, investigate, and exchange ideas, if it is done in an honest manner, without deceit, all opinions should be considered and analyzed.
Again, so long the effort is made in honesty; the analysis should be based objectively, under the view, that making money is the principal reason WHY WE ARE ALL HERE.
Anything else, can be viewed as subjective, sentimental and passionate, all fine feelings, but unfortunately, do not belong in what at least I understand, the realm of the stock market.
I have said it and I will say it again, to succeed, in anything yes, a good ration of ego is needed, in fact probably necessary, but if ego becomes a blinding quality, it becomes a hindrance.
In the end, Hey, go ahead, be my guest, keep hyping the damned thing what do I care, for me what matters is the trend and direction of the stock, the rest is mere "noise", as for the FTEL thread, I will simply view it as:
"The Circus of the Absurd"
----------
From Mr. Flood:
>>Things are getting too serious around here when Zebra gets hot<<
Well, no not really, I am cool, I just speak my mind, if I whish to do so, but I am cool, I need to be cool in order to make rational and objective decisions.
It helps me define why I participate in the stock market.
I will use the words of Ayn Rand to make my point a little clearer:
"The Objectivist ethics holds that human good does not require human sacrifice and can not be achieved by the sacrifice of anyone to anyone. It holds that the rational interest of men do not clash -- that there is no conflict of interest among men who do not desire the unearned, who do not make sacrifices nor accepts them, who deal with one another as traders, giving value for value".
["The Objectivist Ethics"]
I will make it clear, at this time my interest is, other than being in the market for profit, is that this thread really thinks hard about returning what it was once was. A place to exchange and analyze ideas and prospects for the company in which we have an interest in.
To re-interpret one's words or that of others simply because of the desire to say the last word, is utter nonsense and stupidity, for all I care, is go ahead keep on blabbering, in the end all I need to do is look at what matters to me, for that read the above Rand statement.
"Value for value", the rest matters little.
As for "call the company", well, I will repeat it again, if that is the best suggestion, poor Ms. West, she will be flooded with calls all the time...
Besides, I thought there would be some value in the exchange of ideas with smart people that wish to do so, and not a band of egomaniacs, that narcissism is their definition of debate.
End.
Do not bother with the flames, I am tired, and I have a lot of reading to do this evening to bother with The Circus of the Absurd.
