Hi elephant - The greatest difference in the way investors have preceived the rise & fall of Alda's SP I feel stems from a) when they bought (if they are + or -)
b) the reason and expectations for why they bought.

If they bought in the .20 - .30's as you & I have I'm sure, they are much more likely to brush this sudden downturn off as bad for the immediate portfolio but still "green" as you say. If they bought in the range of 1.00 - 1.57 then they are probably feeling taken right now - especially if thier purchace was to be short term (ST). If you concider yourself a "bagholder" it is all too easy to look for someone else to blame for your dilema. If you, however HONESTLY bought this stock with the FULL intention to hold onto it until the company had fulfilled your expectations, then you are more likely to be pissed off at your self for not selling off a portion of your shares durring the run-up only to buy back a greater number after the down turn. But at least in this senario, your company continues to grow stronger & stronger with each N/R & IMO it will only be a matter of time untill APH is understood for what it will be down the road. APH's shares may not have acted in a way that pleased most of us, but this is the venture exchange & these situations happen often. Bottom line is this. If you are truely long - then you will EVENTUALY be in the green no matter where you have bought thus far. It will take time , as the investment community is going to be a little more careful with the true value of this stock for now. If you were caught as a short term investor at over a buck then you have seen the problems with momo investing for the quick buck, but your day will come too.(If you are in a position to tie up your capital for a while)- Paul


Live long and prosper !
