BW didn't say he would not do a R/S...He said he would try not to do it. To me, that was an opportunity for anyone to get out since it WAS a possibility. I had the same opportunity but was convinced we have a winner here and stayed the course. I saw the communication before. Thats what he said.
This time, he said absolutely, NO R/S, ever and under no circumstances would he do it, and he would make this company succeed with his last breath. Thats good enough for me.
(P.S) I bought in BEFORE the R/S back in 2010, lost a lot of shares too, and realized the necessity for BW to do so. I saw then and still see now the huge potential here which is a gold mine IMO, so I continued to buy more shares even after the split and cautiously averaged down from 4 cents (yes 4 cents). And I have a fair amount of them now with a really nice average PPS. Still holding for the home run.
Long and strong wins this race. GO BBDA!
