Richard,

I understand you to say that you have no significant diversification in your equity portfolio, and have stuck with CRK through thick and thin - mostly thin - for three years.

I'd find it difficult to put that much faith in a struggling hopeful like CRK, or in any individual, but that's just me.

I have indeed sold out of Carrick, not because I'm convinced that it can't survive or thrive, but because others among its many peers strike me (an amateur) as being better investments.

I'm sorry to hear that your investment in CRK is currently under water. I hope that CRK does in due course prove worthy of your impressive loyalty.

Given your faith in CRK and your lack of diversification, the focussed nature of your posts is more understandable.

I'll be watching CRK with considerable interest.
