Blame U !! Blame Cliff !! then blame pres.I own 20K of this company (and significantly!! higher than this),
I got too attached to this stock as I made mucho dinero on this some 5 years back and have followed it since... my mistake on that.
If I blame anybody I blame myself for not pulling the trigger when it blew by 2.50-2.60 (where it bounced off many times over the year). That would have capped my losses sooner.
Next, blame Cliff (this could be number 1)... which until today I thought was doing a great job. Cliff is an articulate, educated, smoke screen blower who has promised the sky over and over again for 4 years and not delivered. From the I.P. days to today his time of excuses is finished. This man needs to step down as CEO. He may make a great CTO, but him and wifey need to hand over the reigns to somebody who can nail a real deal !! It took me awhile to see it but there is no denying he has lost shareholder confidence and value... that is the number 1 responsibility for his position... I blame his overly optimistic views and Dow Jones slippups as the main reasons I held too long... I will make that personally known to him shortly.
Blame Prez Bush last (if and only if) his technical arguments are deliberate B.S. AND if he can truly effect the stock price. If BOTH of these are true then wish him horrible health or personal tragedy... because that should be the fate of a guy who steals from people.
Either way... Cliff needs to stop with "congratulations" to Metro and get his name in the large releases, resign as CEO (CTO?), or sell the company and get me some value back !!
