If there was a pump, I unfortunately was not part of it. I believed everything we read in the news and didn't unearth anything that would make me feel this wasn't going to pop more once the merger announcement was made.
I am sitting on 400k shares with a pretty high average. I didn't bet the farm, and have made enough profit on plays the last 12 months that this one doesn't hurt. It still sucks, but what can you do?
