RE:$12-$11-$10-$9-$8....What a performance :0( So you recommended a stock to your friends and it dipped. First let that be a lesson to you as that is a risk you inherit pumping any stock (No matter how good) to friends, family, neighbours etc. You clearly felt the need to impress your friends with your immense investment knowledge and now you have egg on your face.
Now, all that being said you are not my friend or relative and because you are anonymous to me I will tell you that you and your friends should invest in more of a five year outlook when it comes to investing rather than five months. I am invested long term here and despite the recent drop I have been very well rewarded. You can tell your friends there are many, many hills and valleys on the way to success in investing. This stock may swing and dip wildly at times but you and your friends bought what is essentially still a venture stock (one with a promising future). Clearly you agreed at one point.
I hope this little bit of counselling has helped today.
