The New York Giants give me hope! This team had to scrape and fight their way to a fifth seed in the NFL playoffs. Once there, they proceeded to systematically dismantle the top three teams, defeating the Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, and finally, the New England Patriots. Those three teams had a combined 44-6 regular season record!
The New York team might be called the Giants, but they were really David wielding a slingshot against the mighty Patriots, whom some had already dubbed as the greatest team ever assembled. Their win was more than improbable; it was considered by many to be next to impossible. Most experts rank their upset victory in the top five upsets in the history of American team sports.
What does any of this have to do with stocks and bashers and busting the bashers? Everything! The forces we battle every day are the heavyweights of Wall Street. They are entrenched, mightily funded, incredibly powerful, and at first blush, appear invincible. They are Insiders controlling billions in revenue, driving stocks up and down at will.
Here we are with our upstart website, little more than a slingshot in our hands, facing mighty Goliath. But we face him without fear. We face him with boldness and confidence. The stone we hurl is called Truth. With a steady hand, we will find the soft spot of this giant. We will because, if things are ever going to change, we must.
We have a huge responsibility, great hopes?and giant expectations?and not an ounce of quit in us. We believe in underdogs. We believe in happy endings?and we believe in the power of teamwork.
What do you believe?
That?s the Word on the Street.
