Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. Helen Keller.
"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. Helen Keller."

Sounds like motivational claptrap to me. Optimism on its own isn't going to achieve very much, you also have to be pragmatic.
Almost sounds religious, pray to god & it will be delivered unto thee....or blaming the people who pointed out the problems, "It only failed because some people didn't believe hard enough." Or perhaps it failed because it wasn't a very good idea....no amount of Optimism or hope or confidence can fix a daft idea. I've got a brilliant idea of a bridge and/or tunnel from Scotland to Northern Ireland....I'm really optimistic about this one! It might even be a bridge with a tunnel on top!
Hi bald-eagle,
I assume as a shareholder you have hopes the company will do well or you may even be confident that they will do well either way you might even be optimistic for the future. If not why are you still holding? By the way I am not in any way religious and would definitely consider myself a pragmatist. Your analogy of the tunnel to Ireland was a little below the belt but the alternative to optimism and hope would be pessimism and hopelessness, I know what I prefer to be.
"If not why are you still holding?"

ArthurTurner, I have held RthythyhthmOne all the way down, I held TRMR all the way up (where I luckily sold some) and I continue to hold. I think I am allowed to be slightly wary of 'jam tomorrow' - hence why my 'optimism' has been replaced by 'pragmatism'. Is the industry past the over-enthusiasm seen during the pandemic where we streamed our lives away watching netflix...Yes. Can TRMR do well again the the future...possibly....although the 'jam tomorrow' statements of times gone past have returned and I'm less 'optimistic'.
Hopefully they will still allow be to contine to be a shareholder, even though I'm not sure I'm a true believer.
