"And the cheerleaders cheer and the naysayers point to the elephants in the room. And, for the most part, nobody changes sides."

I agree. It is almost impossible to get anyone to change their view. And when they do, it is usually in association with the experience of tremendous rage. I am not sure if the rage results from their new view of Wave, or if it results merely from the rare, atomic bomb event of a person forcibly changing their mind!

It kinda seems there are two steady states for many people: absolute belief; and a sense of jaundiced irony.

The funny thing I have learned about the way people change sides is that, when finally they do, they do so without passing through this cafe!

It's only a small number that is willing to listen to either side of an issue. And who enjoy differences.

Sounds hot where you are. Ouch.

Finding a way to show that these things are different is one of the challenges of conversation with some Wave investors.

You know, later this summer, it will be sixteen years for me (following the Wave conversation.) That is astonishing when you think about.

But, as I've pointed out numerous times, there have been well over a million message board posts on a handful of different boards over the years.

And the cheerleaders cheer and the naysayers point to the elephants in the room. And, for the most part, nobody changes sides. Slowly, over years, a few of the duped investors get disgruntled enough to become skeptics or even naysayers. But there has been precious little mind changing accomplished by the million(s) posts.

It really is idle talk in many ways. (Just like this.) So called "DD" has provided nothing but investment losses and hope for the future. Naysayers have "saved" precious few investors from staying on this plummeting "rocket ship". (Wow, that was from years ago!)

But still we talk.

I've said before, it's kind of like the old guys that go to the coffee shop every morning to ratchet jaw.

Lots of problems solved, huh? Laughing

Meanwhile, if WAVX can pull off a tripling of share price, it can get back in the same zone as when the ATM sales started not so very long ago.

D&O, trying to survive the early summer hundred and teens. Evil or Very Mad
