Welcome back! Yes, and people like you and me with our deficits in the 1000's when this thing tanked in 2014 were only the tip of the iceberg. There was a fellow that followed Alan Brochstein (420 investor) and posted on his boards, and I think I remember him having 60K something shares and his average buy in was in the mid $1 range. What I remember more specifically is the calculation I made at the time, and found that he had about $100K of his money tied to Abattis' fate. He was part of the group making comments like "Why didn't I sell this earlier!" when ATTBF was down to the 0.30's, so unfortunately I think he got smoked. He wasn't alone either.

Not that I enjoy being down money or ever want to live by excuses when investing, but it could have been much worse for us and given the circumstances, I can't help but sympathize with some of the more aggressive chasers in 2014. Glad I didn't get caught up in that.
