I suppose that you have reaffirmed what I was alluding to. There is no bad news. Only sequential good news heading forward. Each of the headings we are discussing are only negative if they are viewed within the confines of one or more persons expectations. Your expectations with regards to execution seem to be high and I do believe that all of your points are directly related to patience. If you are convinced of what SLI could possibly be then the everyday workings should not matter. Patience my friend. 3 to 5 years of patience. Is SLI et all going to be a 10+ bagged, my belief is yes. If any of us has factual bad news, we should post it otherwise enjoy the fact that we will all be finacially independant someday. These are my opinions only.
