Hey, Schnauser, that was a lovely post, really!
"Rick's post is critical, because after the good ad hominem jabs at management, what does he say? He is buying more to protect his initial investment. I'm sure he isn't happy about it, but that's the move. Obviously many here don't have the wherewithall, experience, temperment, or money to do likewise. But this would be the logical response. Why? Because nothing has changed fundamentally about the company itself."
However, the above is the "rub" as William S. would say. Nothing has changed fundamentally about the company, that is true - however, the fact they would do this awful, desperate sounding thing tells me that the fundamentals as we understood and even understand them, just may be different than how management currently views those same fundamentals.
