> Does anyone here have an opinion regarding value vs. dead money?<
Apljack-I'm not sure if you mean regarding this particular stock, or the situatiion in general.
As to the situation in general, been there many times as have most investors. I always try to take my "I won't/can't lose" ego out of the formula and look at it more dispassionately.
The PPS is where it is right now, today, whether I like it or not. If I bought it right now, today, could I make 20% (my goal) in a reasonable amount of time? If so, I keep it.
Or, is there another stock that I could buy, right now, today, that I could make 20% in a reasonable amount of time. If so, I sell at a loss, buy the new stuff, and move on.
I just cut one looser loose last week, bitterly! Bought a bottomed-out stock that day, back to even overall today!
