RE: ''Assume''Well ASC.....I can't force you to think beyond the end of your nose...I can only suggest you consider it.
And because you live in a world of ''assumption'' ...never conclude that the rest of us do. Apparently your assumptions are not working too well for you....you've ridden this stock up to its overpromoted high and all the way back down.....seems to be a significant flaw in your assumptive process.
And might I humbly suggest that you never end an assertive statement with 'I hope'...as in your observation that......''AMA had some issues and those issues were addressed with the addition of Mr Hayden....I hope''.
It definitely undermines the certainty of your statement.
Hope and assumption appear to have put you in a loss position on AMA.....I trust you will be using copious amounts of both to figure out how you're ever going to get your cash back.....may 'patience' be your long suit.
And when you're championing ''nice endorsements''...it might be infinitely wise to peel back a few layers of the onion to find out if they were really endorsements .... or simply self interest statements from those who have vested interests in painting a rosy picture. Possibly you just ''assume'' that all the nice folks in this business are the true altruists of the world and really have your best interests at heart?
It's your cash...difference of opinion helps makes the market...but knowledge is the trump card.
