>>>He reads SI, mainly for amusement and finds what is going on here particularly amusing.<<<< David, tell your friend that I am glad to have been of service in provision of his entertainment. He should thank you too, friend that he is...... >>>He believes, and I tend to agree that there has been unrealistic expectations created on the thread-like stock going to 8 on the rumored news!<<< Who on this thread ever had such expectations? >>> ...stock may run $1 to $1.50 before traders start selling into news... Traders will look back and regret their haste to sell and HDIE investors will reap the rewards of patience and sticking with this company as they move to the big league from the minor league.<<<< Those childish traders will do it every time: hold and support with significant positions for, say, six months or so, and then their emotions and greed prevail and then they take the big money and run. However, they always come face to face with the error of their ways a year or two later. >>>Anyone expecting a double on the news might as well sell now<<<< Breaking even would be nice. >>>and move on to other stocks that they think they can do better on.<<<< Of course, there are not any such stocks. hehehe....David....you are too funny....I like you and consider you a friend. I also think you are sincere and honest, and a smart cookie. However, I think you might do well to admit your own role here on the thread regarding the hype and amusement part. I, for one, would not hold that against you. Anyone can have good insights and resources and still be vulnerable to shifts and changes beyond ones control. If it makes it any easier, I will be the first to stand up: My name is Charliss, trader and investor. I have played my part in harboring, and sometimes expressing publicly, unrealistic expectations regarding this stock. I am now willing to take an honest look at myself, and the stock, and I now give myself permission to adjust my position and to reinvest elsewhere if that truly fits my goals. I do so without fear of reprisal or the suffering of alienation from the rest of the thread. (oops! gotta run...some of my HDIE money just made 3pts in TLAB....greedy trader that I am, I have to take it out now)
