A personal friend and Wall Street hedge fund creator/builder recently told me that the most successful investors know when to get out of a stock. At this point the silence from UC management is causing me to question whether or not I should soon also follow through on this success factor and cut my losses while there is still time. For the record, I am at 50% below my average buy in price and have sold 10% of my UC holdings this week. I know that will make some other UC shareholder very glad for some "cheapies".

I am a big fan of Truck and his Orange cat, however, this heat wave has my mind starting to wonder if I am seeing things in the distance that are not really there (read mirage) with respect to UC. It is time for management to step up and confirm in fact if there really is an oasis ahead in this desert.
