I am sorry for your losses sircorp. I too have made some very poor decisions at times, although overall I am well up thank goodness. Some I have sold and moved on, others I still hold in the hope that they will come back some time after being oversold. I am hoping BDR is in the latter of these two, however only time will tell. Still do not be trapped in becoming too bitter sircorp such that it flavours your sense of reality. BDR obviously have only one head office and like many companies with operations overseas it may be necessary to have executives and expert advisers in different locations. Lets hope for both of us that BDRs latest gambit has a better outcome. There is still some hope so we have the choice to exit, or hope the odds pick up in our favour. Cheers
