RE:RE:RE:RE:Stance from new ManagementSorry you didn't like my post, Tropicalsun, but it was exactly what I wanted to say and I'm reasonably happy with it.
Here is one definition of obsess(ion): "preoccupy or fill the mind of (someone) continually, intrusively, and to a troubling extent." I think that pretty much covers my opinion of those here who don't own the stock, yet follow every company communication looking only for the negative, read every bulletin board posting and post themselves often multiple times daily without much if any balance.
For example, I might think that the burning of fossil fuels is a severe problem for the planet, but that wouldn't make me obsessive. On the other hand, if I followed every development and got upset to the point that I was posting multiple times daily on various petroleum company investment bulletin boards in an unbalanced fashion, that might make me obsessive. Just like the exboyfriend who can't let go. Or the former stock owner who can't let go.
Anyway, each to his/her own. Carry on...

Sometimes, these bulletin boards remind me of an ex-boyfriend stalking his ex-girlfriend, telling everyone she's to blame but all the time wanting her back.
Yes, Upsdowns, investment decisions are ultimately ours and we have a responsibility too. So, if anyone doesn't like the company, he/she should feel free to take some of the blame and then take a hike. I have done so many, many times and I don't give a second thought to going back to the old bulletin board to gripe about my old ex-girlfriend. Why? Because I don't want her back.
For those of us who don't put the ex-boyfriends on ignore, perhaps they should remember these words from a song..."And haters, they gonna hate". Once you get a hate on, nothing much will convince you to achieve any sort of balance.

This is a venture exchange company and at times things feel like the wild,wild west, but if you don't do your dd you might have a tendency to blame someone else instead of yourself. Glta
Read your post, first you say exboyfriend, then exgirlfriend, which is it? Doesn't matter poor analogy in my opinion. You could have just stuck to the investment choices and taking responsibility.
Not many will do that, because it is always human nature to blame someone else when things go wrong.
