It is very easy to say after the fact that this was expected. I was simply asking for confirmation of any post on here or anywhere that people expected this.

Sorry, but I misunderstood your question. To be honest, I was caught in all the hype here like everybody else was and was also expecting a very good BFS. I was very disappointed when the news came out and my first reaction was to blame management. But then again I began to realize that I never personally heard management say anything about "you wouldn`t believe the numbers". I believed it because I read it here on these boards like many here have.

That`s when I decided to take my own initiative to talk with Elmer and Mike in person at the convention. I drew up a list of questions I wanted answers to and spent over an hour in personal conversation with them. I didn`t want to accuse them of anything so I wanted to make the convesation as friendly as possible but at the same time get some honest and straight answers. ( By the way this approach works wonders ). Anyways, needless to say that I am very satisfied with what I heard and believe that our investment is in good hands.

So moral of the story is what Elmer has cautioned us, "Don`t believe everything you read here". If you have a problem or something just doesn`t sit right then do take the initiative to get answers from management.
