I don't think the bashing is a long term factor , or necessarily even short term. If you believe in the risk/reward parameters,  this may simply be a good short term oppotunity to add to position. If you don't like the risk/reward, you should not add or own. There is a tremendous amount of legitimate data here to help you make objective decisions. However, it would be tough for an inexperienced investor to wade through the posts, and even tougher to distinguish the legitimate input. To get maximum v alue, you need to read all the posts, print out the real data and produce your own little reference book. Then continually reassess the updated data, and re-evaluate the risk reward. If you are not confident about this , get help. A lot of posters here NEED HELP !
