A reasonable position, Richard. This could very well turn extremely positive once all the cards are played.
Nonetheless, I've relunctantly concluded we're in for a short-term slaughter. Too low of a price, just too many imponderables. I've learned the hard way in the past that the market doesn't like such situations. So I took the opportunity to eliminate 3/4 of my position at the re-open. Still had a slight profit on the table, and I felt I had to take the money and run for the hills.
Basically, what put me over the edge was the realization that we're now investing in a startup company. No revenue, no liabilities, no brand, just a potential for a great product. I've done this before, but always for <$1. My fear is that we're now heading for that range.
Really hope I'm wrong, since I still have a gvil position, and because I feel for all the other long-time believers in this stock. Maybe Apple will come in and save our bacon, maybe there are great attributes to this deal that will be revealed in the call. Maybe! But, for now, I'm going to ground.
