I have no sympathy for an investor who cannot sell

I have no sympathy for an investor who cannot sell the shares in a company that they do not like.  Your persistent whinning is ridiculous.  Eliminate your stress and sell your shares and go invest in another company.  Look at it this way.  Had you sold your Treaty shares for a loss and invested all of the proceeds into Facebook when it was down 50% from it's IPO value, you would have more than doubled your money by now, and that is a relatively short timeframe.  And there are others that now would allow you to take the profits from that Facebook investment that offer the potential to double again in the next few months.  Of course if you can hold on without whinning, you might find that Treaty will double within a couple of months.  Or possibly even triple.  Good thing it's Friday so you can wash your crying towels and get them dried out and ready for next week.
