Bonnie, With all respect and regard for your personal predicament and sentiments, I feek it is appropriate for the board to hear a similar, but less pessimistic perspective, reflective of personal circumstances... my own. To summarize the salient facts:
I began buying WAVX right after the re-listing. This was in 1998, I believe. My posting history will confirm this.
At the time, I was employed with a federal agency in Washington, and anticipated that WAVX would provide the substantial portion of my financial comfort and security in retirement.
At the time, I was in basically good fealth, although I had some years earlier received an organ transplant.
In January 2002, I suffered a medical setback, resulting in an ampution of my BK right lower limb., which resulted in unanticipated disability retirement. With my increasing medical expenditures, my financial situation understandably worsened.
In June of this year, additional medical problems arose, specifically, acute rejection of my transplanted organs. Again, this has triggered large, unanticipated medical bills, and other new financial commitments.
Through this, I have had no reason to back away from my initial commitment to Wave. In fact, I have continued to accumulate, based on my reading of the progression of developments. I base my continued optimism on a profound belief in the inevitability of Wave's technology, and Wave's ultimate success in commercially benefiting from it. You use the phrase 'blind faith'. I do not base my actions on blind faith. My friends say that I am a hard-headed lawyer with a heart of stone. I have never operated in any situation on 'blind faith'. I concede that all could be lost here, but on the basis of all the UNEMOTIONAL, rationally analysed and argued evidence to date, I don't think so.
In summary, my advice is the following: If you don't have an immediate need for the money you would gain by liquidating your position, than hold tight, get emotionally UNattached, and start by taking a vacation from posting on the board(s). There are a lot of congenital whiners and persons with derogatory agendas here, and listening to them can unduely infect the clarity of your thinking, if you get too engaged in their thought 'processes'.
Best of luck, whatever you do.
