I hope what I'm about to say makes sense:
Diff is expected to grow by leaps and bounds. It will start out as an arms race with all this new gear. Anyone that isn't ahead of the pack will get left in the dust. If we don't get ahead of the pack, we'll be behind and once we're behind, it means things will take exponentially longer.
Coinlab isn't doing leased work, so we can't pretend that will make money until it actually is.
Asicminer isn't paying dividends right now, so we can't pretend its making money until they start paying. We don't even know what they'll pay because it depends on what they end up doing compared to BFL and the others. I don't think it makes much sense to liquidate the position as the bid depth on GLBSE is lacking (which it always seems to be), which means the liquidating would be a huge loss.
Be patient. These things aren't going to resolve overnight just because you wish it to happen.

What makes you think you will be AHEAD of the pack? Someone could be dropping a million dollars right now into ASIC, and your dividends will definitely not be enough to create a million dollars.
You are right, Coinlab and Asicminer aren't making anything now, and they probably never will. I've been trying to explain that to you earlier too.
We need to take the risk, either to keep investing in ASIC or say we have enough exposure already.
Keep investing in ASIC means we might get ahead, but if not, everything will be gone, nobody would likely be paid anything.
If we don't invest in ASIC, means people get paid in this waiting time, and possible in the future, we never see our principal back.
Again, I think it is time for investors to decide what to do. I am favoring partial dividend payouts if not all. Just don't feel keep throwing money into something that didn't work out makes too much sense. But who knows, you might be 100% correct and rake in some serious BTC if you are ahead of the pack.
