I agree all of what you say, but have one comment that differs.
Earlier this year, I do not recall when, I e-mailed RP asking how many share holders of record we had. He called me two days later and said:
"2811 holders in street name via a broker, and some 26,000 certificates issued."
He further stated, "there is no way for me to determine how many multiple accounts each street name is, nor how many people make up the holders of certs."
I have two accounts in street name, with EDIG shares in both.
Just for the heck of it, lets assume 1/3 of the street name holders had two accts. That would mean approx 1850 street name holders. Lets further assume, 2000 people hold certs.
My numbers are only for sake of discussion...so 3850 people. We have 50-60 regular posters in here, and maybe 100-200 full time or part time lurkers. There's no way to be sure??
My point, with all due respect, posts in here have very little effect on the PPS IMO. Having said that, if I were trying to decide whether to buy EDIG for the 1st time, and reading in here was a portion of my DD, I'd rather see positive comments than the opposite. Negative comments might not chase me away, but probably slow down my deciding what to to?
Regardless, we should all understand this board has an effect, and with our money on the line, why second guess everything EDIG puts out there?
My take and last post at this time...gotta get some things done.
