Now I’m pretty sure your from Jersey/Delaware or Maryland!!!!! I’m from South Jersey!!! We crab out of the Delaware Bay. Love your crab trap analogy although it’s not what I think at all but is comical!!!
Actually, my concerns go deeper but I’m still holding a full position, waiting to see TLD. Not because I am trapped but because I believe the odds favor some kind of positive outcome in TLD. If I became convinced of the short case, I would have sold and moved on long ago. I’ve done that many times with other investments. Take the loss and move on.
The key is not betting so much that one gets knocked out of the game on failure. The old money management concept is vital.
