You only loose money when you sell a stock below what you paid for it. Paper losses are just that, paper losses. Anyone who has done his/her DD would see this as a buying opportunity to lower their average cost, if they haven't tapped out already, knowing what's ahead as far as the acquisitions go. Listening to all the whinning on this board today tells me that there are a lot of folks out there who don't have the stomach to deal with penny stocks and should be looking elsewhere for investing their hard earned money. As many have said, no risk = no reward.
