Agreed. I take doubles when I have them and move to free shares. But I'm banking on what I do know about this stock enough to not sell for the tax loss, to buy when I was down more than 75%, and to do some very creative things to be able to buy more. This is my only long hold penny. At this point, I'm either a PBLS bag holder with a cert for a souvenir or am moving at least 6 blocks closer to the ocean...
Either way, I guess I still win because I live at the beach!
And by the way, as I grew up on a farm, I appreciate the bushel analogy. My granddad used to pay me $5 to pick a bushel of peanuts...he was a wise man as it took a determined 10 year old all day and kept me out of his hair while he did all the real work...
