Hi Dave. Do you still own the Kodak stock you purchased in June? I have been a staunch supporter of the company, purchasing stock for more than 30 yrs. I just purchased more today. The problem is though that they almost always seem to find a way to dissapoint. The staunch is turning to stench. Do you think our investing will ever be rewarded? Thanks and good luck. Mike.
