thanks for the thoughtful reply, joey.

let me correct a couple of things you have said. i'm not sure how you got to the point where you inferred that i have invested more than i can afford to lose. i can assure you that is not the case. i only invest exactly what i can afford to lose. there is a distinct difference between investing only what you can afford to lose and being bitter about losing your investment. those are two completely different topics. in this case, i'm in the later and not the former. yes, i'm bitter. i'm not bitter at you, though. if anyone, i'm bitter at myself.

and lets explore that point. sometimes i do my d and d when i buy a stock, and sometimes i will buy on a suggestion, and sometimes its a mix of both. all of those have their merits and weaknesses. none of us are infallible and sometimes we do the wrong thing.

now, lets use the comparison of SCIE to ford motor company. ford makes a truly revolutionary product and if you didn't know anything at all about car manufacturers and various other cars and car companies that were in existence and suddenly one day you were to stumble across ford motor company while browsing the internet, i can see where one might be very excited at this investing opportunity. ford does make an amazing product and looking at them with blinders on, its a slam dunk investment. however, removing the blinders, one might find GM, dodge, toyota, volkswager, etc also exist and the shine of the ford stock wears a bit thin.

so, in absence of my d and d on SCIE, as i did buy on a suggestion.....and i look at the action on the stock and form some conclusions, i'm left with questions.
do you, or anyone else here on this board, work as a trained professional lab technician who is in the business of using these type of machines and thus, would have real world experience as to what other machines and/or technologies are available that do the same job or better? i know i am not that person. i'm a carpenter and i can tell you things about wood and construction products that would blow you away, but i cannot tell you about emerging medical technology no more than you could tell me about emerging construction techniques and practices as likely you are not in that business.
so, to my point, there is a huge leap of faith that all of us have made that there is not a better more practical technology and/or company that can/does/will produce a product that is better than the wavestat4. i dont think that exact topic has every been explored on this board, and if it has, i have not seen it.
so, as all of us tread into the abyss of the red zone, we can all pretend we know all about emerging medical technologies and that all of us are in the loop in that arena. for me, its a huge leap of faith. i regret my investment here but life goes on. i'm just here to point out some of the obvious failures some or most or all of us have made.

what will i do from here? sell or hold? i have no idea. sometimes selling after a lot of blood is the wrong thing to do as sooner or later the bleeding will stop and it goes up....but not always. sometimes the bleeding stops and the corpse lies dead.
