Is ATHM dead money? Excite@home had a serious illness. It was discussed once in a movie called, Joe Versus The Volcano, the illness is called braincloud. Once infected, friends still called but fewer and fewer were allowed to come and play with E@home. Soon friends stopped calling and actually became suspect of their original friendship. E@home became more ill, both from internal fever and because of the inevitable quarantine with its consequential severe loneliness that resulted in its state of 'depression'. <g> E@home has been in a stooperous state for a while now. The company has achieved remarkable milestones and still has The Sweet Spot for cable BB. It Will Perform. Now we come to your interesting question. Should you leave it alone and jump in once it rallies on truly positive news and sentiment? If you are averse to risk. If you do not mind Not owning it and missing a potential pop. If you think it and the market still have downside. Should you buy it? If you want to get it on the cheap, this is about rock bottom. If you have done your DD and know the stories it will be a stock to own and hold for at least 'a while.'<g> If you own it, should you sell it? Why give your shares away? If you bought it near here, yes it may sit, yes others may move and selling to go gamble may be interesting and profitable...but risky. Your call. If you bought it higher same question, why give it away? It may be 'dead' for a while, weeks or months, but it will turn and when it does the potential for quick gains exists. Remember in November it was 59. On expectation that the company was going to perform and work some deals. That is over 3x its current price...is it worth missing? Time is the issue you need to resolve and I can not help you any more then I have. Good luck. It will move and it will move in a huge way eventually. I am banking on it. Tight lines, though this one is currently quite slack
