Dipstick

While my initial post was only last week, I have been monitoring TECO for quite some time. My initial investment was with ARGY on Sept. 17, 2003, so I have some seniority.

I have been concerned with the lack of news, but with the BK filing, my thoughts have changed. I do not want TECO to be premature in releasing data, which might be fuel for our opponents, rather the lack of data seems to have created a need for them to improvise news, and to falsify facts. If in these machinations, they have boxed themselves into a corner, oh weeellllll!, to bad, I'm sad.

This brings me to my next point. I am a retired farmer, used to pouring thousands and thousands of dollars into fields, full well knowing payback, if any, was months down the road! I believe this creates a level of patience that some here do not have, or have little of! We live in a time of instant this, and instant that, and to play a waitnig game is extremely hard for some. My caution is: let Bull and the Admin do their jobs! I feel from all I have heard and been able to put together over the months, we have a very good supportive leadership!

While I am a trustiing soul, there is a definite limit, and my early training at home was one of "keeping one's eyes open". I find no evidence in this company for distrust, rather it seems there is more evidence of dealing with very trustworthy people, and that reassures me with my looooong wait! 

You all know business is a "cut-throat" world, and honesty is a very mercurial commodity. Often, the news released is nothing but a come-on, and one has to be very scrupulous regarding it. But I have a pretty good memory of "what" people say to me, not just what they implied, and I find no discrepencies with any IR over the months/years, and everything Bull has told me has been spot on!

Thank you, Bull for "learnin a newbie"!
