kmc, I respect every investors opinion, whether he owns 100 shares or 1M+ (I'm at a $100K++ deficit). Believe me, I'm distressed by current events, but I'm of the opinion that things are happening on the ground in VZ. I'd love to be privy to what's going on, as would we all. We monitor information as it becomes available in the public domain. Fung will play every card available to him. Clarification will come, let's prey it's of a positive nature...
