I don't usually ever post. Just wanted to say that I am keeping my eye on the ball. I am not interested in recrimination, what's done is done now let's move on. Personally I am hanging in there as a long and am making the bet that, like a tight elastic band, some spark of good news on Tesoro or on one or more of the other sli ventures will jack up the sp. Personally I am taking the bet that we're not dead but at a point in a continuum and just as there are bad investing days, sometimes you get good days too. I really do believe that this is a process and this is one stage, albeit a crappy one. The part that saddens me is the time line. No one knows. I've been in this for eight years and though I wrench at the thought of another eight years, I can do another six months and I can do another six months after that if I have too and so on. I am months away from age 60. Time is my biggest fear, not today's news. This company has cash, optioned partners and is moving forward. I am betting that that spark of good news will happen and I hope soon but am resigned to waiting, as unpleasant as that is. I am in here to win! As I seldom ever post, I'd like to commend the Hub people for their good efforts, for without you there would be noortunity for a guy like me to speak with you. I'd like to respectfully offer a suggestion. Follow the Agoracom rules as you do, but do take pause and accord additional patience with views that are not all pro. Perhaps a respectful discourse of dissenting points of view might inject some clarity into the discussions. I suspect we all have our agendas but I for one want to hear a discourse that is polite, thoughtful and without hysteria. I just lost 50% today and I am sounding off. It may be therapeutic for me to slow down and write this stuff, it does help somewhat. I am sure there will be more days like this, so fasten your seat belts. Just to reiterate, I am betting on better days, sooner or later and am LONG SLI.
