Well....that is the tug of war going on here isn't it? Those that look at any stock banished to the greys and say that it can never return - and those that look at this stock KMAG, and say it will return...so, as to better sense, well, I would have to say that part has not been resolved yet, has it?
As to calling it a punishment (for those that sold) if it does 'miraculously' return, I might just say that right now those that have sold or counsel others to sell have been non-stop in their disdain for the CEO and all 'bagholders'....so, when (oops, did I write that? lol) it returns, I will call it a reward for those wise enough to see that each situation is different, there is NO absolute in life, and simply put, that looking at all the information available, that their bet was a good one and paid off!! $$KMAG
