"If I was looking at what had happened over the past 5 years would I consider investing today. My answer is also absolutely yes. I have followed the company since the early table model days and seen JBI overcome all types of blocks to it's progress. If were new to the investment and all I had to go on is the negative statements and share price I'd have to say no"

This makes me wonder if you have your ducks in a row in terms of why and how you are investing, with a reasonable expectation of a return. If you say you were new to it, and would not invest, then I would not invest in it. Likewise, if the sentiment is negative, same answer. Don't invest in it.
More importantly... maybe you should consider how you are selecting these stocks. I would say looking on message boards is not a good idea. There are so many pump and dump schemes operating that it is impossible to find much of anything worthwhile.
Lastly, if you can't part with it because you are not new to it, that is a real problem. That is basically the inability to Sell, which all investors must deal with. Basic human nature makes it difficult, because of Greed (wanting more), or Pride (not being able to admit a mistake).
I have difficulty in Selling, but I have overcome it in time.
I think most people, especially in bad times (which is not now), would be better served by giving their money to a mutual fund. I don't think I could be successful in bad times. As soon as interest rates head up, a significant portion of my portfolio will be in Fixed Income.
