Paul, the "fear" is just like anything else in life. We tend to view the good the company is doing and believe it outweighs the negative. Throw in the uncertainty of the sector and the fact I have money at stake here and there become moments when one may second guess themselves. The announcement of the "up to 10% sequential growth" along with the cinvert was a slap to me. But instead of selling immediately, I did more reading and made an educated decision. I am holding my shares even though the dilution was real. When people start coming over here and start declaring were going to $0 or the company sucks etc..., you have to expect a defensive response. There is a lot of money at stake here. The "I told you so" attitude is just worthless in the investment/trading community. It's like spitting on a bum...it just lacks class. I trade for fun and the money I "invest" in companies like this is money that is never computed in the long term picture. That's how I keep my sanity! Many here have a much more serious level of risk and coming over her hammering them is just not the may to do it. BTW, Zeev helps many but don't believe everything he says!
