realism vs optimism, page-4

Optimism- holding this stock for 8 years with continual promises of big things to come.
Realism- SP from 50c plus to 4 c over that time.
More realism- I was stupid to believe their spin for so long.(And I realise their have been many management changes in that time- all tarred with same brush as I see it.)
Even more realism- they have never, up until now, held their word or deadlines.
Optimism- it will all be right from here on- we've changed.
2 weeks ago I spoke to Mr Carter and he told me 24-48 hours and he should have a glowing report to the market.
I could go on but you get the picture.
