Thanks for at least acknowledging that I have been around for a while 
My post was not pointless because to me it represents admitting to a significant loss. Publicly. I don't care about rattling cages or "religious" style debates on a stock. But after being on the stock so long and seeing endless chatter about how "solid" the stock is, it just felt like some balance was necessary and for someone to admit that they are done. Everyone else mentions that they just bought more shares and why, so why isn't it fair for someone to step up say and that they sold shares and why? It goes back to the "religious loyalty" some exude here for the stock which is damaging to themselves and novice investors.
I'm a reasonably smart person and I know that my sale and any sales that could happen as a result of what I posted would be insignificant in the grand scheme of the stock. So for some to think I'm trying to "cast doubt" is absurd. I've been around for a while and just wanted to say what I've done, why I made the choice, and good luck.
Last time financials were coming out everyone was saying the same thing I am hearing now. But they were wrong then and the financials were disappointing to say the least. It is dangerous in investments to hang on others' hopes when I myself have a gut feeling and see red flags.
I may have been wrong to sell. Time will tell. I will still have a financially free life with or without this anyway which gives me the benefit of making this choice without emotional ties.
