I bought today, and I think the shorters are doing us all a favour.... just buy the shares! I believe this company is so undervalued... it is my biggest holding by far, I have purchased over a few years from as low as $1 to as high as $2.20... and I always think it is way underpriced! Yes it requires alot of patience, but that is the hallmark of a good investor!
The only reason I dont have even more of my portfolio in TFC is because I use a margin loan so I want to spread risk, but I have about 1/3 of my portfolio in this stock, complete with DRP and happy to keep holding and buying as opportunities arise
