Yes, we are all responsible for the decisions we make, and a person must blame themselves for not pursuing other POV's. What I am saying is that when the stock was at $30, there were certain people on this thread who simply attacked anyone with a sell recommendation. While those people (I don't recall you being one of them, so don't consider this an attack on yourself) are not responsible for the decisions of others, they were responsible for making this thread a useless forum for debate. I came here to add a perspective which was the complete opposite to the vast majority here, and I was immediately attacked for it, and still am by a few. Anyway, the lessons I've learned from SI is to listen to other peoples differing opinions, it may offer up something worthwhile. I remember being part of a raw raw stock last year. The forum was very positive until a new comer came who cast doubt on the story being told. This man was attacked immediately. That sent up warning flags to me and I asked the attackers why they responded in such a hostile way. That was the beginning of the end as far as the stock price was concerned. Reality was that the company was being promoted and had terrible fundamentals. It went from $.35 to $1.00 to $.13. I'm glad I sold at $.65, but the long and strong have virtually written off their investments. GM
