There is resolve on this board to bring good analysis, and as a regular poster, you are seeming like a wet blanket. You can dwell, and pound, and try to get this to $3 again, or you can get in again and ride this to a potential 3 bagger. I don't like using lines like that, but it seems that the higher this goes, the more you dwell on spilt milk.

What stopped you, Kuat, from selling last year? I presume it's the same reason why I didn't sell. But, I can tell you, one year later, it was a good learning experience.
The next merger I am involved in which is going to finalize months down the road, and the immediate price appreciation is beyond desirable, the ARLZ experience has told me to take the money and run. And, rebuy, too if there are significant (irrational) hiccups along the way which seriously depreciate the share price.
Look at WGBS. Different scenario, but potential merger months down the road. Look at the haircut when the market finally caught on.
The reality is that if the duration in time is going to take months for a deal to finalize, the market will do whatever it can to discount it in the meantime to find a cheaper entry point. It's the suckers who hold on and not take their $ off the table. Or, they can afford to wait it out - which also ups the risk as downside gets larger.
