Pleasant surprise - it's cheap, it's a dog, it's had some PR disasters that are now in the rear view mirror......

I wish all the best to those of you with the Cojones to to hold this stock. Hopefully you manage to get out somehwere around 37-40 bucks, given the "Strategic Review" fever only ran it up to 45 bucks. Even though I won't own it myself, I never wish any retail investor bad outcomes, we all work way too hard for our money.
