Please Read Folks, I have a number of PM's and public messages concerning the "rocketeers" joining forces with other groups. It is normal whenever you have a successful business style that others may want to join in and copy your style. While we might be flattered, the fact remains that we have no "style." We do not preach anything, other than Investing 101. Find an undervalued company, buy its stock, and hold it long. If we add anything to this, it is the spirit of free sharing of DD using the internet, and supporting each other with TLC when needed. Oh, and we do provide occasional MM and medical shuttles off the ship :-) I don't understand why anyone would want to join forces to do this, since anyone can do it and we have no formal group as such. I did receive some requests to call some individuals and discuss this further, but I have not even called them yet. All I told them is what I just told you above. So don't worry about anything concerning the rocketeers, and most importantly focus on the company and its fundamentals, not on us. If you start focusing on us, whether we are legit or not, whether one of us is sick, or working, or has changed their profile -- my goodness! Whatever time you spend doing that is time you could be spending doing DD or just out enjoying life. In the final analysis, we are not the company. It matters not whether we buy or sell, at least not in the long run. If we sell, my opinion is that we will lose out on large gains in the future plus we will have to pay taxes and commissions. But the company will still grow, because of its fundamentals -- we are the only ones who will lose. If day traders happen to come in and out, let them. All they will do is add some volatility to the day's actions, and they may take 1/8 or 1/4 gain (of loss) here and there, but we are in for the big bucks, not the quarters. Finally, I am just one person. I do not and can not control -- nor do I want to -- what other "rocketeers" do, or what anyone here does. Do your own DD and make your own decisions. My personal decision is to hold DGIV for a very long time, cause this baby is going to go nuclear sooner or later.
