I have an email into Cool to see if all is well. He trades for a living so I assume he is focused on his 2013 strategy and other trades or on vacation.  He is very disciplined and focused; studies martial arts, etc. He attended that oil business seminar and I don't believe he spent a week studying the oil business just to sell TECO. My thoughts and hopes are he is still holding his shares. Based on PM's and emails I definitely feel that he is more patient and logical about his TECO trades and trading in general than any other shareholder holding TECO shares; including management. I believe he will patiently wait for BPD and for the reversal and then start contributing again. I look forward to his future analysis and I miss it. TECO's success is up to it's management and employees. Management has more at stake than the average mom and pop shareholder so I assume they are just as frustrated as we are; if not more so.   I know some on this board that contribute to TECO far more than the average mom and pop investor so I don't include those members in the "mom and pop" category.  In my opinion  TECO's daily trading is nothing but low volume manipulation with some mom and pop sellers waiting for the future possibility of cheaper shares or just weak hands selling.   We are all well aware of the many missed PR'd milestones and BPD during 2012 that have fed right into the manipulators hands. Why analyze on a daily basis when there are so many other stocks working off fundamentals and credible PR's? I highly doubt that there are many TECO shares for sale below .01 so my guess is we hold the .015 to .02 range indefinitely until TECO starts realizing increased BPD from their many projects, commercial oil recognition by the GOB or a PR'd big deal.  I think 2013 will bring a lot of "positive" change to TECO and starting soon.  IMO if we've come this far then the hardest part is over with.
