Chester,
The "message board sentiment has always been wrong", is not correct, and the "current negative sentiment from prominent posters should be taken as a buy signal" is also wrong. First, the boards sentiment was based on all known published information used to invest in a stock. Second, Its not negative, is obvious, based on factual events in the last 2 1/2 months. I would not base an investment on sentiment of a message board...Third, you stated the "bet"...And thats about what you got right, nothing more than a bet, not an investment based on any facts/DD as board members had initially, but found to be scrupulous.
