Rod,

I believe that you have asked some valid questions and that is what this forum is all about.

But, like you said, maybe the framing of the questions have been the problem, as you said.

I do believe that we, as investors, have the right to ask questions concerning the companies that we invest in and that the companies in question should provide whatever information they have in regards to those questions regardless of the answer, good or bad. That is what this forum is for.

As Albert Einstein said:" There are no absolutes in the universe, or life", a Playing the stock market is like playing texas hold-em poker, you never know what the turn card or the river card will give you. It is a gamble, but a gamble on the companies invested in. As Yosemite Sam said, "I paid my four bits to see the high diving act, and I am gonna see the high diving act".lol

People may not agree with what is said but they should stand up for the right of people to say it.

JMHO
