YM, he won't have any cuu stock now. Pro. Traders like Stiffel and him pick a co. with potential, buy hard on the way up, sell as close to the top as they can, and borrow as many shares as they can to sell short. they make out like bandits both ways. 
When I was a young man they used to call these stocks PENNY DREADFULLS ! I swore I would never get stranded in one, when I first heard Elmer talk I knew we had questionable management but I thought the value of the property justified the investment. Greed led to terrible judgement in 2011 and a lot of suffering since. I strongly feel selling now would only compound the mistakes of the past. I'm confident those of us that can continue to hold will be rewarded. Chunky.
