I'm guessing you are on track with this sentiment, and that if Verb is to grow, it is more likely going to be due to continued absorption of other companies, thereby creating a large marketing conglomerate with large coalesced revenue.
The only way I've been able to recover even a small amount of my not insignificant losses, has been trading it, now that I know what moves the needle and which direction. If all the other longs did the same volume would attract investors, I suspect.
I figure that If I can average 0.5% gains a week that's about 25% / year, at that rate in about 8-10 years I can recover my losses if Verb just keeps percolating.
