Not pessimistic, but just choose not to get carried away. Hope and excitement doesn't get you much over the long term in the stock market (unless you are a day trader riding the short term excitement waves). I just think patience, logical conclusions and actual results is what is needed to be as sure as you can be of anything. I've been invested in STX for nearly 14 years and haven't received any return. Hopefully that is about to change and I sure have a long way to catch up to make up for the 14 years of lost opportunity costs. Currently holding over 2 million shares so days like today are good ones for the portfolio balance.

A decade ago I wanted $1 for my STX shares. With all of the dilution we've seen over the many years I can't see us getting there anymore, but perhaps an exit around half of that will do.
