“Angst is not the human condition, it’s the purgatory between what we have and what we want but can’t get.”
― Miguel Syjuco, Ilustrado

Forgive me.....but I have not seen this much angst since they traded Babe Ruth ( I am almost that old). I am not going to try and assuage your fears, make merry on todays or the past few months trading or even spin a story to get you out of your miserable state of mind. Some of you anyway.

What I have tried to do though and will continue to do, is put you in the "Chair" and see what the chairman sees, the management team discusses, the board reccomends.To gain insight into why the management team seems not to panic, even when the price is decending.

So......not sure on everyones background is here, however I am sure you all or most know about access to information laws. Most of you if employed at a large firm of some kind or another have signed or agreed to confidentiality policies ? Most of you have had a call from a doctor to review test results, which can not be discussed over the phone, rather in person only. Most of you own credit or debit cards, and have at one time or another had to change a PIN number or card number.

Security, stealth, non disclosure, confidential information, information access limitations. All a part of everyday life ? Yes ?

In my life, personal and professional ....its suffocatng. In my business, its multi tiered, its multi levelled, its multi layered, and then its suffocating. So from where I stand the silence being deafening and all....is quite normal. Irritating yes, unsettling yes, and even inconvenient, yes.

Unnecessary.....NO !.....really necessary.

Again, if you have a cure for Cancer in the works, or a car that runs on water, or even a better mousetrap. Before anything breaks out publicly....you want total darkness. Ok so

"Eileen, why do I want total darkness ?"

The worst of the Manhattan Project leaks

by Alex Wellerstein, published September 20th, 2013

We live in an era where the press regularly rejoices in printing “national security secrets,” via leaks, as an evidence of its “watchdog” status. This isn’t exactly a new thing, of course. Press leaks and investigations have been around for quite a long time, and ever since the example of Woodward and Bernstein, this has become the ultimate symbol of journalistic power and access. But it does feel like it has accelerated somewhat in the last decade, both in terms of frequency and magnitude of such “antagonistic leaks” (as opposed to, say, “official leaks” — the kind that are secretly sanctioned for whatever reason). I’ve sometimes heard people suggest that were the press like this during World War II, things like the secret of the atomic bomb could never have been kept as well as they were. And while there is something to that, in the sense that American journalists were far more cooperative and acquiescent during the 1940s, it also projects a rosier picture backwards than ever truly existed. Even during the Manhattan Project, there were copious leaks. Some small, some huge.

So as the Chairman, what are your alternatives ? You know your sitting on a piece of technology that will have global blockbuster potential. You know everyone is going to wnat it nd will beat a path to your door and will do anything to get ahead of the next guy or even steal a sneak advance peak. Stranger things have happened.
