I wonder sometimes, about the psychology of these boards, and whether a good number of us (I include myself) crave some sort of quasi-public affirmation or need to be right. Just a thought I ponder from time to time ... always good to step back from the virtual worlds of the boards when it gets too serious in my opinion. Maybe there's a certain narcissism at work for some of us like multiple people have noted for facebook.

Funny thing, the markets have not been great the last 18 months, but I was making more money trading other stocks before I ever jumped into CUU with an overweight position. Great learning experience and I think it will all work out in the end. I'll have to re-evaluate how much time I've spent following a stock like this online however. I've learned a lot from others and met some real quality individuals, but have mixed feelings about the strange little world it creates and the schoolyard atmosphere of competition it can create.
