When it comes to pinkies, you take a risk. Now, if you bought high and started accumulating at every point and not having sold any to take your profit, then I say that was your call. A smart investor would have pulled some profit cos PPS goes up and down. So if he took a loss, well, we have all been there one time or another. Some get burnt real bad, well that is part and parcel of learning. For me, I always walk away quietly when a stock has failed me, cos the rest could still be smarter than me to make it out fine. So it would be nice, if stocks have no bashes for whatever their reasons may be. But then again....I think bashes normally have their own agenda, and I hope Miami was just bitter and will move on....and make his money else where. IMO
