Now I understand why you are so angry. It is very typical for investors who lose money to put all blame on the company. History alone should have discouraged you from buying BORL/INPR at 11. BORL has always been an unruly investment. It is the irrational expectations of hype driven investors that setup for these wild swings. As a lesson, cube, remember the Gambler's words "you've got to know when to hold, and know when to fold". Having taken a beating in INPR, your best bet would be to fold, and find a company with whom you are not so emotionally attached. Venting by bad mouthing the company is childish. Trying to get even by short selling stock is plain foolish.
