Listen folks, getting emotional and crying over spilled milk isn't going to help.
Stay objective, spend the time doing research on the industry and the deal and the post merger exercise.
Don't just believe what you've been believing, go and search the truth. Look at peers, analyse the numbers , look back at previous statements. Some of these have been done and I have provided you industry paper too.
Everyone will have a different opinion and that makes the market. But you owe it to yourself to also challenge your prior convictions and not stay strictly in denial. And this is especially so for many of you who only own this one stock in ASX (as you only talk about this stock in your HC history) (just like so many I have read in the BIG HC forum).
As we have seen from Retired Young's posts, those who have crooned so passionately about BUD previously (except one) mostly overzealous up ramping got out sooner than those who stayed quiet. But at least they did something....Doing Nothing is Doing Something.
