So you "figured" wrong. Should Sands be basing decisions about the future of the company on what you figured? I sure as h e l l hope he doesn't. Six months is short-term to him, he's counting on years, most likely DECADES, with this company.
"I bought in at would otherwise be an unwise time to buy because I believed their BS about their company's future."
So you admit buying at an unwise time? And now you're pissed? Please tell me exactly what HAS CHANGED about the products being offered by this company in the last six - twelve months? Nothing that I see. One thing that has changed is the share structure because they needed to sell stock to raise money. That is what start-up companies do, that is why they are high risk.
