...what kept me from buying this earlier on was that i was scared big money was gonna squash it out like i've seen before...
Yep, I find myself doing this "what if" thing in mind with some of these plays and sometimes talk myself right out of it. I sold all of my RESN once but, like you, I had bought my shares back at my price. I wasn't happy with it but I couldn't really find a good reason to not to own it so I opted to hold.
