You're making a whole lot of assumptions without revealing factual support if, in fact, there even is that possibility in reality. Some investors sold at sub-$2, of course---swing trades operate at all levels as you well know. More than half my 75,000 shares were purchased at above $3.00. Because of trading profits, my current cost basis is 92 cents. What you're referring to as a$$hole behavior is smart stuff in my mind. I'm not an idiot because I do something others are afraid to consider. And I don't disrespect others for operating on a standard or style not matching mine---there's no place for such judgmental behaviors imo.
HDY may accomplish all we desire. Then, too...things may not go our way. For whatever the reason (s), the company may find itself forced to accomodate something we're presently unable to ponder and find itself compelled to yield to a buyout enriching us far less than our imaginations now permit.
There's a place for imagination gone wild and in such instances, we should expect hyperbole to operate. I think it would be helpful for some on this very public boards if we were to acknowledge that we sometimes engage in free thinking uncluttered by fact. lol.
I can give you an example of rhetoric gone wild that has consistently permeated this board and another prominent one:
Jim Spear has been placed on a pedestal for his prowess as a geophysicist by numerous HDY bloggers yet I've seen no evidence of his deserving such accolades. According to one well placed individual, Mr. Spear was fired from Exxon as an incompetant. Yet here we are, many years later, still thinking a person is capable of walking on water. Well, sometimes the news is incorrectly reported just as water is sometimes yellower than we might wish. Kool Aid comes in colors. lol
Everything stated above is all in my opinion, of course.
