Well, I have been reading all this with great attention, and two things are now apparent to me in the light of MO's interview~ which was disheartening to say the least:
1.falling in love with a company is dangerous, albeit arguably noble (each of us here, I would suppose, is seeking "ethical" investment)....so thanks MEGAFAUNA, you are a true believer. Your research and enthusiasm has been diligent,selfless, authoritative,and informative.I hope you have a win on CCE
2.love is blind~ closing one's ears to naysayers is unwise: your strong criticisms, JRDBULL, of management, shortly after the EMC purchase, drew from me a rebuke. It is patently clear now that you were correct. In time I came to realise that your deep knowledge of the players involved was far greater than mine
To all other posters who have shared your research and opinions, thank you.

Having said all this, my 70% (potential) loss has been solely the results of my own decisions. For now I will stay the course 'til the next company outlook comes to hand. Then I'll reassess.................
