I understand your sentiment and even have agreed with it up until now. However, if there is an inflection moment for this stock to turn around, this is it. Just in a few weeks/moths is the start of ESS trial and possible JV partnership. The idea of getting back to stock price pre-split is not even remotely possible. The best Longs can do is as you say "roll the dice" and take advantage of the current situation. I expect, a steady march of upward stock price.
