It's also possible that Allen has no issues with anyone at the Campfire.
Given today's banking situation, dead real estate and plunging property values, he could easily be trying to salvage his portfolio of properties. Trying not to betray any confidences here, that could easily be the case and I surely hope that it is not.
Personally, I own no leveraged investment properties; all of our investments are in stocks and cash instruments. If the Dow and the NASDAQ crashed like real properies have, I would be pretty scarce at the Campfire, as well. Given that scenario, Allen would opine that maybe Ol' Steve got his foot caught in a bear trap. And he would be right.
A guy has to pay attention to what supports him. And maybe Allen is doing just that. Or maybe not ... heck, I don't know.
In the end, we all wish Allen the very best that life has to offer.
Steve
