Excellent and well-justified rant, Eudaimonia; I was wondering if there was any rage left in this forum. I myself intend to stand pat with my shares despite Smith's negative buoyancy effect...I see Fancamp as a huge block of styrofoam that wants to burst to the surface no matter who or what tries to keep it under...as opposed to some companies that will inevitably sink against all desperate attemps to hold them up (Kaiser calls them 'Zombie' companies).
We have a lot going for us but it does require the patience of the Saints...as a friend who dropped FNC after the '08 bust said to me recently "you're probably going to get rich off this eventually, but you will have earned every penny!"
