Its not as much stress as it is looking back at past mistakes, evaluating why, and seeing the same "demeanor" in many that post here, and at other sites, almost deliberately talking themselves out of an investment. You can see it at other sites of people bailing out just before the train comes in. And the ever present all knowings stating why things "can't" happen, trying to convince others so when they bail, they won't be doing it alone. It won't make them right, but if they can convince others to make the jump, its reinforcement into their decision. I think there are others here that wince at past opportunities and not knowing really why the jumped out. I"ve posted past posts from AOL showing the same thing. NO ONE had any idea what Case and his crew would do with AOL. THE SAME SITUATION is with us at FNTN. This company is now, with the technology it has and its reinforcement of SIEMENS, capable of chaging like a Chameleon. Almost overnight. Some of what causes people to bail out is tunnel vision. They only see the obvious. And they masticate the minutia to such a degree that they leave the "unknowns" out of the equations. And it us many times the 'unknowns" that take a company where none were before. FNTN to me has a blank check as to where it can go in innovation, and fields within the internet/intranet. And then the other part of me is wondering if I'll be watching this stock sit and get stale while the e-commerce, and cyber stocks make moves that folks will look back on and say that they were the opportunties of a lifetime. And I hope I can hold on, until I truly see what FNTN is headed for. I jumped out of AOL because I talked myself out of it, like some do here. I looked at the competition, I read about how internet providers will be soon ancient history, I read how microsoft will come in and take over, I read how AOL had no revenue/profits and was a scam, and those that are in are crazy. All these comments coming from the armchair experts.
