You guys made the wrong decision along time ago when you emotionally attached to this stock by meeting the CEO and
letting him sell you his "bag of tricks." If you are too trade a stock, you must take the emotion out of it. Calling the CEO by his first name like he is your best friend is a stupid and unwise decision. Trade the stock, this is definitely not a holding stock at this point in time !! Sorry but you were had, If I was the CEO and someone offered me a good chunk for the company and I knew I had my shareholders to account for, I would consider it, instead he just wants to tell you about all the trips he's taking to see the world and clean up the "pig smell."
Be wary of any CEO who acts like he is your best friend. It usually means he wants something and once he gets it, your phone # is put on the "do not answer " or "he's out of the office" list. I know this from experience, I am a CEO!
If you would have bought this morning and traded this afternoon you could have booked 100 plus % gains. Flip this baby! Tomorrow brings anther opportunity, I guarantee it !
