The reaction of some people about WINR is so typical. LOL! Yes, the PR firm and the company have not done a great job of marketing but this stock is likely no different than many others that certain people wanted to hold down a while (to load up?). And we all know that stocks that perform don't stay down for long. Even stocks that have had no PR firm or marketing do pretty well at some point if the Company's performance is as good as WINR's. Remember how people called thes stocks dogs? WLGS that people badmouthed at 20 cents before it went to $4.00 in a few days TLTG that many of us bought at $1.25 before it went to $15+ SHAL that I tried to get others to buy at $2.25 before it went to $20 (briefly) FTRK before it went from 18 cents to $1.37 in days PNLK from $1.00 to $8.00 IFLYW from .42 cents to $4.00 etc etc I have no crystal ball, this stock could go lower, but I have a feeling that some people are falling into the same trap of selling at or near the wrong time. They talk about loving the company, how undervalued it was at $1.50 and holding long term and then they get scared when the MM's help create a mini-selling decline and then they bitch about the company, call it a dog, and sell at or near the low. Heck if it was undervalued at $1.50, what is it now? LOL! It's so typical. MM's prey on people that buy a stock with such high expectations and they are SO easy to panic out of a stock when the volume is relatively low and the MM's decide to play a few games. I have seen it dozens of times. I've only seen one really good example of people that banded together as shareholders to thwart every attempt by MM's to play games (at least for a few weeks) and that was DGIV when it went from 40 cents to $8.00. Too bad the loyalists here can't talk the talk better. Oh well, all you can do is buy a stock that you love with great fundamentals like WINR. Personally, I can't believe it won't turn around soon. But even if it doesn't for a few weeks, is there really that many shareholders here who are worried about buying more of this at a buck+?
