I hear you, Lowman. This market is a blood bath. Thousands of companies will have gone under by the time it's over. But if CTGI can conserve and survive until the turn around in the markets and hospital equipment spending increases, I do believe that CTGI will emerge to make its investors happy.
If it does not, it would not be because of bad faith on the part of DR and company. After all, they have far more to lose than I do. Nor would it be because I made a stupid decision by snapping up a stock that had "scam" written all over it. I believe that with the information available, the technology and the market for it, the company's progress from product conception to FDA and CE Mark approval, to the manufacturing of actual units, the fairly historical stability of the share structure (which has never behaved like a classic stock scam: dilution, reverse split, infinitum ad nauseum), and more, I made as sound a decision as I could have.
Anyway, while I would not want to lose my investment here, I am not risking the baby's milk money. So I am in for the long haul. Also, I'm reminded, as I've said in previous posts, that two other times in the past I dumped a stock at loses during times of serious downturn, and had I held (indeed, had I bought more at depressed prices) I would have realized phenomenal returns. I'm not predicting that will happen with CTGI, just that I've decided to stick around.
