90 day = 220,817

If one is in this for the long haul, focusing on the daily numbers is a annoyance at the worst. It effects everyone in a different way, but I have disciplined myself over the years to give it a rest, and buy a bit more now and then.

My focus is on the weeks and months ahead, still feeling from the SHM and what has transpired since, to include encouragement from what management is going on record by saying what they have the last few months, that the little engine that could, will.

These 3 settlements that SS heard in court can't be much longer before we see a PR, and the legal back and forth via Pacer news for the remaining 15, frankly has me excited! To heck with Allstate, we are in good hands with DM. As RP said to my face 9/17/09, "DM is the best thing that has ever happened to us."

How these 18 will be structured is far more important to me than a low today thus far of .116. Getting cash up front, regardless when it is paid is pretty much a given, and if royalties are included with several of them, or a partnership of some kind as well with a few, then how the market reacts we can discuss then, and IMO it will be positive. Per RP at the SHM 2008 on 9/17, "our enemies of today, will be our partners tomorrow."

This is a very resourceful and resilient group, who bring a variety of factual information and insight, along with LOTS of opinions, so this is mine.
