Ok, it's the former. I'll tread lightly. Bye.
Be yourself, Gran. It's all good.
I'm a trust-but-verify kind of guy who is willing occasionally to invest heavy in long-track-record-large-cap-high-value dividend stocks when the research numbers are good enough.
Yes, I do lean to the cynical side when assessing corporate behavior, so you called it well. Individual business people, on the other hand, generally get an initial benefit of the doubt from me one on one, though. It is much how I tend to smile at an oncoming individual in the street but am particularly wary of groups that appear prone to unpredictable mob behavior.
Didn't mean to offend. Sorry.
