Wayne -- I understand your frustration but I, for one, disagree with your conclusions. I want to know what other mid- and long-term holders are doing with their shares -- whether they are buying or selling. It helps me gauge my investments. Not that I would sell based on what someone else does, but it informs my own views. Plus, I often find that when sentiment is negative, it can be a good contrarian indicator. Just my .02 (not that you asked me)

Psych and Wayne...if you want to read about this thread, SYCR, DGIV or any overemotional thread for that matter read Investment Psychology Explained by Martin Pring. With every turn of the page, revealed to you will be THIS. An interesting study. Jonas

Good post Wayne Here is my take on those who sold recently: I think just posting it makes some feel better. Stress release I guess. We have a therapy technique where we have frustrated people write letters to those they are angry or upset at. Whether they mail these letters or not, it does feel good. Therefore, if some impatient people are angry or upset with Ira, or maybe even themselves, telling the world about their frustrations and the fact that they sold does make them feel better. I have received e-mails from a few who said they have watched DGIV or AMLI or whatever and became angry that their money was tied-up in FAMH when it is not moving. I personally don't see the rationale in that kind of hindsight. I am patiently waiting for FAMH to be our answer. I could be wrong but I believe our patience will be rewarded and those who sold recently will just have one more reason to kick themselves. -PsycProf

Wayne J, It's always good to hear from you! I just wanted to "announce" that I STILL HAVE my FAMH shares! There, how's that! :-) Actually, what I really wanted to say is that tomorrow we are supposed to have a conference call that includes Ira Monas and Morton Downey Jr. When I called the company today, I found out that Ira is "under the weather." Apparently a "bug" has slowed him up for a day or two. Robert said he thinks Ira will still try to do the conference call tomorrow even if he has to do it from home. But don't be surprised if he sounds strange cause I guess his voice is pretty raspy. Robert was at home sick for a couple of days last week as well. Anyway, that's the latest that I've got for now other than we are supposed to get some "BIG NEWS" next week! I'm looking forward to it! Best wishes, Brad
