Rotech's S/P has been on an express elevator ride downward since August, 2011 when it was above $4. There were ample opportunities for shareholders to exit until it collapsed in bankruptcy which should have been no surprise to anyone that can read a stock chart.
"Oh, poor me, I lost $4 per share." Really? Why is it always someone else's fault when an investor made a bad choice? I have made many poor choices, over time, and some have gone BK and I got nothing. WorldCom was the worst. I was stupid. I thought I knew more than the analysts and posters on the message board that kept saying Ebbers was cookin' the books... and I got hammered.
This judge has heard all this yammering, many times before, about the poor, hard-done-by shareholders that get squeezed in BK. Do any of you think he has any sympathy? I don't! It's all about the law. Shareholders come LAST. And opportunistic shareholders that bought on the brink of a zero share price get... DAH-DAH... zero!
JMHO.
