1.) my children are middle aged. 2.) these failings on SBs part have been discussed over and over again for mo.s and mo.s. if you have been in this stock for 6mo.s or more you have known about these issues or you haven't done proper DD. if you bought in knowing this, then it's on you. if you have been in longer, and have seen all of the events you've described come to pass, and you are still holding, that's on you. many of us believe in SB and this co., warts and all. if you think SB is a poor ceo and a liar, and you are still here, that's on you. and yes, near sighted, short sided, not the way i see it. there isn't a co. out there that couldn't be picked apart and found fault with, the bottom line is whether money will be made. i believe it will. jmo
