Welcome, Mr. Fish, and sorry about your current unemployment. I would imagine in the car business you would not have a whole lot to wait until you find another position. It never ceases to amaze me the strong hands we have, and the true longs in this stock. Mr. D is great, and holds a lot of shares, but for every Mr. D there are dozens of just regular people, without a lot of money, who are holding this stock because of its potential. You are the first to say you are currently unemployed, but there may be others out there. I assume you have done your personal financial calculations and have decided you want to be invested, in spite of being between jobs. Personally, if I were unemployed I don't think I would be holding any stocks, but if you have enough savings and other sources to carry you between jobs, good for you. DGIV is currently in BB purgatory, as you well know, and we have many days with more buys than sells and the bid comes down. And we have days like today when we are gapped down at the start for no apparent reason, and when the MMs don;t get the sales they expected, they bring it up hoping someone will think there is a pop and sell. This is just my guess, I have no idea what is going on in their minds and frankly I no longer care. I posted earlier what I consider to be a good way of thinking about this stock. I think the people making money on DGIV these days are the shorters who buy when there is a news pop, knowing the MMs will bring it down days later, at which time they cover. Interesting that they are making money at the expense of the MMs. So neither us nor the MMs are making money right now, but if we are long that is a non-issue since gains or losses are only on paper. In the long term I fully expect to make a bundle, although I don;t plan on selling for a very long time.
