Yes, Mark Twain is great, but this is ownership in a stock, not defending one's country. Twain was referring to nationalism and supporting one's country, not an investment in LQMT. Anyone would jump on board to support one's country, but why anyone would want to be proven right about losing their own money and failure just doesn't make sense and is certainly not what Twain was referring to.

When you're invested in a Company, you clearly either support it, or you get the hell out, but you don't stay in and bitch and whine about it when all you see is negativity and failure. No clear-thinking investor would do that.

I prefer T.S. Eliot's sayings when analyzing those with the mentality that they loathe an investment they made and incessantly rip management when management struck a deal that may very well bring much success, puts a major shareholder in the cost bases of other minority shareholders (and puts his "skin in the game" others have been bitching about) and makes the most sense of anything they have ever been involved in, but the theory that one would rather see a CEO fail to be proven right than to see a CEO succeed to make money and turn a negative into a positive is just not rational.
