RE: Reality check timeI agree. I sold all my shares back in august for a total capital loss of $27,000. I just came back here to check on things ... and surprise surpirse, nothing's changed.
aside from the lagging stock price, I sold for 2 reasons.
1.) I felt that my money was put to better use elsewhere ... actually, the stock I put the money into has made back my $27,000 and shows much more promise than DYA.
2.) Sitting on a $27,000 loss, I decide to make sure I could crystalise it. even if DYA took off again, I could buy it back after 30 days. My biggest worry was and should be moreso for most of you is that if DYA is delisted... there's no capital loss you can claim against future gains on other investments.
So, I guess I made the right decision and most of you even if you believe in DYA should sell to crystalise your loss. Capital losses can be carried forward indefinitely to offset capital gains.
If you still believe in DYA, you can always buy it back in a month.
Just my 2 cents
