I've seen two posts today where I've seen the misquote, "money is the root of all evil." I looked it up. My source which is supposed to be a version of the original says "The LOVE OF money is the root of all evil." You don't have to love or worship the stuff to use it. In fact it creates a medium where we can have civilized exchanges and peaceful negotiations. On the dollar I'm looking at it says, In God We Trust. Let's get a handle on this folks. I need some of the stuff to function in this society in a decent way. That doesn't make me evil. I'd like to see my investment pay off. That doesn't make me corrupt. There's way to much finger pointing and suspicion around this investment. I'd like to know what other MIDL investors are willing to support. It seems after all the embarrassment of the past, we have some folks handling our money under a very watchful eye and we need to take a stand to support them in doing the best they can with it. If the MIDL investors generally don't believe in this company then I figure you are all just waiting for the first opportunity to bail. I hope not, I'd like to stay long and see my W's go from a nickle to the $2.50 target. I haven't heard anybody talking about the long potential of MIDL lately. You know, at the current values it looks very atractive to me as a long, especially when acquisition seems at hand. Confidence is so low around here, I get the feeling people would rather see this stock stay unsuccessful to fulfill prophetic posts. By the way in reference to some earlier posts, the Qu'ran has a similar quote, "The Love of Wine, is the root of all evil."
