APM's Fall... Guys, There is one way to look at a sour APM investment! It was a great learning experience. If the holders take it that way and refer to it when necessary (it will be referred to over and over believe me) you will see how cheap of an education it was. Actually I suggest you print its chart and post it near your screen somewhere. Add all the expected earnings and low P/E numbers on the timeline. If you had hired the best investor/trader/guru, he could not have taught you a better lesson than what a sour investment can teach. That's if you wanna learn and deduct from it. Please don't take all these as offensive. No offense meant. Actually I don't even know who still holds this stock from the highs to here. I have been in similar situations. As a matter of fact I have a sour investment in my hands now, KEG from 40 to 16's!!! It is turning around but what about the opportunity cost? The tied capital on it for months during the bullest market is lost money. So we all have to learn from these mistakes and not repeat them. The most important fact of investing is who who cuts losses fast will be OK in the long run. Who he hopes and rides a losing stock will lose that capital! Capital conservation is the name. Everyday I repeat it to myself! Cause you know how it is to let go a loser. It is hard. It makes one feel a loser. That's only a short term feeling! The long run agony saved is worth it. You all take care.
