that's a huge myth.....I myself have lost and "never sold" on NYSE Companies, and it's happened countless times for penny stock shareholders, just ask around.....even a huge Co like "old" General Motors had worthless shares eventually, this is verifiable fact....there are tons of other examples easily found....
as far as price recovering here, seems unrealistic it will again be anything close to making many people whole....
BTW, I can understand the hesitation to take a realized loss, it really sucks, and maybe there will be a marginally better liquid price down the road, who knows....but as of now, all the pennyland red flags are flying high....
PS: I hope JB and the crew are proud of their deeds.....nicely done....
