I fully agree with your statement braveheart that it is very risky to rely on "private info or tips from unknown sources".  On the other hand how many times have shareholders read PR's or spoke with Mike M. in IR only to find out that the information being presented turned out to have no more accuracy than "private info or tips".   The only accurate combined with "success" has been the Mitchell no. 3 & 4.  All the rumors, tips, PRs, conference calls, phone calls, emails, Facebook, Tweets, etc have amounted to 80 BPD.  "Actions speak louder than words".   I can't imagine why Mike M. told me last fall "management is giddy".  I also don't know why he told me "first quarter of 2013 will be TECO's quarter or "huge" and  "TECO should be able to get the 2013 10Q1 filing out quickly".   My point is that we could fill encyclopedia's with message board posts, emails, PR's, etc and TECO has a whopping 80 BPD and has yet to achieve CFP.  Personally I find that disappointing but I hold my shares and hope for the best outcome.  What else can I do?
