"It is always darkest before the dawn." From your lips to G's ears! I hope you are right.
And, LongPennyPincher, love your safety warning.
That said....if you can't afford to lose everything, don't buy here. If you can, then go ahead and buy. There is a great upside opportunity. But, anyone who thinks the downside isn't zero, is just missing out on real business experience. Zero is a very real option. Smart money wins (e.g. lenders). Dumb money loses (e.g. common shareholders, including myself and most of the readers here).
If you don't understand how this happens, it just means you haven't experienced it yet.
Also, the posters on the "other board" have nothing to do with our current stock price. It is all about management's inability to deliver on promises/timelines. More importantly, it is about management's unwillingness to compromise on a deal.
I think I saw on the other board that folks were bashing finesand for saying that we "should take $5 now" for a buy-out. $5 would be an amazing outcome for probably everyone currently invested. Fine has mostly (always) been right about the facts. Of course, methods have been questionable.
Lately BoredLawyer, Woodenbear and BlackDoggie have been on point. They sound like people who have been in the business world and at the table where real deals are made. (Deals need to actually close. If they don't they are just prayers.)
Others are speaking about hope and assumptions. That is fine. My only message is not to bet on hope. If you can't afford to lose, just don't bet.
As I have said before (infrequently), I'm long and hanging in there. But, this is not for the faint of heart. NP is swinging for the fences, when it probably makes sense to just take a single (which would be a four-bagger for most of us).
