Yes, somewhere in the psyche of those posturing to expose the mongers of FUD and exposing some bright light of certainty as an alternative ... somewhere in them thar folks lies deep seated FUD. Its as if another dare not speak out loud of that which is the stuff their own demons. And yes, few like to be pitied.
To me it is this sense of absolutism that I find dumbfounding. That SKS (et al?) has done a remarkable job of positioning wave for this opportunity does not preclude him also being one of entitlement, and indeed what I feel to be an unethical placement of all risk on long time shareholders. SKS may have a remarkable vision for an unfolding market and a great sense of what products to prepare for that market, and may at the same time be a fool for prudent use of resources in the exploitation of that opportunity.
Its that sort of untempered adoration that smacks of cultism to me. It seems to me tkc simply calls for additional skills in the front office, one with demonstrated prudence, one who can mold, shape or focus enthusiasm to more accurately address what *is* as opposed to what could or should be.
Feeney gets a bad wrap. He's the scapegoat. I don't know how it works at Wave but I suspect Feeney tells SKS how long their money is going to last and asks when the next deal is going to come in so as to formulate a funding plan. SKS gives Feeney bad information clouded by unsupportable enthusiasm and Feeney is left picking up the pieces. Feeney doesn't decide if SKS buys stock, last I heard SKS' spouse does.
That a person place or thing must be all good or all bad seems to be a decidedly American thing.
