I reckon that almost everyone that holds this stock has had these thoughts at some stage over the last 2 years or so - most that are still here have them safely quarantined off in the part of the brain that also contains thoughts of nuclear Armageddon, $10 gasoline and being forced to watch back-to-back Sarah Palin workout videos. It is best not to go there until it actually happens...

We all paid our money and took our chance, and has been aptly demonstrated several times already here recently, we have absolutely no control or influence over what happens either in the boardroom or in the marketplace with this or any other stock. Life is like that unfortunately - you could have been in either Lehman or Goldman 12 months ago, and both looked an equally good bet. All you can do is stick it out or cash in and admire your new haircut.

It is never a bad idea to question the soundness of your investment or your risk- and time-frame tolerance, but too much 'what-iff-ing' usually results in some bad judgement calls. TCR knows as much as anyone else, no more and no less. The future of the company is clearer now than in any time since I've been invested (since 2005, unfortunately), and many of the overhangs have been cleaned up. However, there is still much manure to be shovelled, and the odour from the manure-maker-in-chief can still be smelt. Each of us makes our own call as to risk-reward, and hopes we are smarter than than the other guy -some guys, like TCR, like to rub it in a bit - whatever floats his boat I suppose...Always keep in mind that that a broken clock is accurate twice a day.

The time-frames here will be what they are, and the stock price will be what it is - to paraphrase Clint Eastwood, if you need guarrantees, buy a toaster, not OTC stocks :)
