the cold hard facts, page-21

Jeffo,
I don't see this as painful at all. I actually am enjoying the depreciated SP to a certain degree; I might not like the reasoning to the SP falling, but like what is happening behind the scenes. It is testing who is a holder and who is a short term trader chasing short term gains. I'll top up again and average down, a bonus to my portfolio!

Think of it as a graze on your knee... You might fall over and graze the skin in which you won't feel the pain until you actually look at it! The pain is cosmetic really. The pain is only "pain" if you sell!

And I can use that analogy with first hand experience.. I had a rusty piece of 4mm in diameter wire kicked into the soft part of my knee and didn't realise it was there until I felt a tugging feeling and looked down! Then the pain hit. So long as you don't sell, this 'pain' is just cosmetic and only another line to the story of how you managed to pick up such a successful company at bargain prices.

KTM,
I am glad you're keeping in contact with Eve. It's always good to get an update which is as positive as that!
