Hello! Cheryl, I have just read today's postings on this GLOW Thread! I would like to share a few observations with you ( and anyone else interested) that I hope adds some insight into the negative mood that some posters feel to be attempting to inject! First! Jealousy in my opinion can be a very dominant motivating factor in attracting naysayers and thread bashers!--That's fine!-If it makes them feel bettor then so be it! Second! I have found your postings to be well researched, clearly expressed , easily understandable ( an example? if it's fact you give us a factual example---if it's your opinion your clearly identify it a such!) Third! In my opinion without question you are the originator and leader of this thread ( as well as many other serious investors willing to share their opinions and research-and state it as so!)... Forth! I do not condone, accept, tolerate or otherwise, any individual being verbally attacked in public on the threads--especially individuals that are caring and sharing people that appear to motivated not only by their own personal investment development but in seeing other people grow and prosper in the investment community! As new investment opportunities present themselves, one thing that appears to be constant on most threads--and that in my opinion is the arrival of instant naysayers and thread bashers, as soon as it appears that a postive thresh hold has been crossed! I find in many examples these will be individuals that are recently signed on members of S.I. --and basically the first few words they type appear to be trying to save all the members and participants on a particular thread from the evils of a specific investment opportunity!--Or at least the evil they have appeared to have made up in their own minds without any convincing facts! ( other then some rambling excerpts from publications that any one of us could get from our local public library!) We of course have no way of knowing ( although that may be changing very soon)-if these new naysayers and negative contributors have appeared previously on the threads under other thread names!--but! Many times I have been suspicious of the writing styles that appear to be similar in nature, but on various threads and various thread names!)... I am not here to judge anyone! ( Not my job!)--- So! I would like to leave you with these two thoughts! First... Cheryl!----In my opinion you are one outstanding individual and you are in a league of your own! Second... Cheryl! ---- In my opinion! You are a very dedicated individual that spends hour upon hour of your personal time ( at no expense to others)--in conducting very thourough DD and research on investment opportunities! I appreciate your efforts!-But! As you always remind other thread participants--everyone should always do their own research and DD and do what is right for them!!----And as you have so often reminded others in your postings-no one should make investment decisions based on someone else's opinion or recommendation! As I see , and in my own opinion, I see the S.I. Threads as an opportunity to view what others have to say or share their opinions-- and if I see fit and/ or appropriate--I may decide to investigate on my own further or walk away from it totally! The important point to note here is? It is 100% my choice and my decision on what I do with my hard earned money! So! Having said that , in my opinion, I don't appreciate some Lone Ranger jumping into a thread in the guise of protecting us from ourselves, when in fact an alterior motive may be in the works! ( Just my own opinion!) WOW! THAT was long winded! Sorry to all! Keep up the Great Work! Cheryl! And yes this is only my opinion , but so far, I am happy with what I have found regarding the investment opportunities in GLOW--and I do feel we have a very deliberate, astute, professional in Gary!! Looking forward to many more great days to come for us all! ( JMO!) Best Regards, Wayne J.
