I appreciate your advice. I do trust the the person who called me and believe they were good-intentioned, but I agree it is wise to be cautious. I certainly would not want to lead any other investors astray.
For myself, if I sell now, I would be writing off most of my investment. So it is not a hard decision for me to hold longer for a chance of not only recouping my losses but also gaining a profit. For others, it may be different, so they will need to decide for themselves.
However, I do believe we have reason to be hopeful. Maybe not $20-$30 hopeful, but I do think $4-$5 next year is a reasonable expectation, assuming my information is accurate and the company can get off the greys. My expectation is also supported by some of the contracts we have been seeing the last few months. This company has been growing, in spite of everything.
