>should I lose 50% of my frigging money by selling at 12 ... or lose 75% by selling at 6 ... << Bear in mind that I am a GERN Short. I say bail. I think a lot of us here have sat on 50% haircuts and prayed it would go back up only to all of a sudden be sitting on a 75% haircut. Time sitting in this stock is money wasted elsewhere. So you lose 50% now. Get it working again by getting into the next YHOO or KTEL. BTW, I bought YHOO @ $102 the other week, and I am delirious right now with my portfolio.

Baldness....here, hold my hand for a minute....pssst, clue this, I bought this loser stock (not this one) called USNC. I knew it was a loser when I bought it, and it's STILL a freaking loser man. I am down 50%...bought at 75 cents, it's now at .375 (don't matter if it's 20 bucks, or 20 cents, the same principles apply, no?) Anyway, the stock has EXCEEDED my expectations in loserhood, far and away the worst piece of crap I have held for a while. BUT....the saving grace, and I have seen it too many times to be fooled. Some hoorish market maker will inevitably buy the sucker at the absolute low. Then miraculously "good newz" will come along, and this potty stock will be hitting the ceiling with abandon. Maybe a difference though is that I planned to buy the piece of crap, I call it "contrarian" bottom fishing....who knows, maybe it is just compulsive gambling. Point being, you would be a FOOL in MY eyes to sell at a 50% loss, set it aside and forget about it. Don't listen to these chumps in here who just want you to bend over and take it like a man....phuck that. Unless....as I have often imagined.....EVERYTHING you read on the internet is true, straight from God's lips. If that is so, you're going to feel like you wiped with a cactus before this is over! Ha! Wiping with a cactus....get my POINT! cHEERS!
