RE:RE:for those who are new to this board....Unlucky13. Here's a tip, if you are in for that number of share, put the computer away and check in April. Then, sell everything and park your money in a well managed Mutual Fund.
If you do stay in the markets, learn about stop loss, not applicable at lows, and learn to do technical analysis. It's great stuff. Clears everything up.
No shareholder should be bashing the stock to the incredible levels you are unlucy13.
I feel your frustration. Best is to accept the loss and decide what to do with the market value. Ignore the book. I hate to say it but at the first 20% run, sell. Book value goes to zero and you can start fresh here or somewhere that will be more positive for you.
