I would think all investors are looking for a "return". As for the term "desperately", I would hope any investor who is desperate is not investing in pinkies. That is a recipe for fiscal disaster. I don't think the flippers are bitching or complaining about this stock. In fact, this stock is a flippers dream and a long's nightmare as of today. If you bought 5 years ago and are a long, you have nothing to show for it. In fact, a flipper can buy a lot today and be in the same position the longs were 5 years ago. The only difference being the flippers made good money along the way riding the waves while the longs lost good money keeping their shares "tight".
