Sheila, no criticism intended in this post, but I am truly curious how so many of you can maintain your optimism. What is it about this stock that makes unshakable believers out of you? Is it that you have lost so much money that you can't bear to throw in the towel? Or is it that you really believe they have a chance against what appear to be superior products like Imation's drives or CD-RW or DVD? I just don't get it. I will tell you this, though. I have been in another stock that went down fairly rapidly and I lost a hell of a lot of money. I rode that sucker down to the ground and managed to get about $3,000 out of it. It was very sad. Since then I've learned when to bail, no matter how painful. I only lost $1,000 on this stock. Please, be sincere in your response. I'm only looking to understand all of you guys and gals better. Either way you go, good luck.
