I obviously agree with your frustrations. I think what blind constantly tries to get across is that we invested in a penny stock and we should understand those risks or sell.  I have much experience at  understanding the risk because I've mentioned numerous times my past $35k loss on another stock and numerous others of lessor value.  Did I learn a lesson?  I don't care one way or the other about the lesson because some day one will hit big and I love the game.  I like the challenge of the risk whether boom or bust. Of course we know TECO is a huge risk and could go under at any minute but that's the excitement of the game.  Why play the game if it's not exciting.  That said; TECO needs to get off it's arse and start producing oil based on it's past promotional campaigns or my future penny stock funding will be going towards other costs! ;>
