Happy for you. Those like you that came late to the party have made out alright. But, as emphasized in the article and the charts, long term holders here have very significant losses with this deal. those that acquired LVLT shares in the $80 - $120 range prior to the reverse 1-for-15 share split are sitting on shares with a cost basis of $1,200 to $1,800.
And, at the time, no one would have thought they should sell LVLT when it hit $132+ in 2000.
