THE BROKEN BUS ANALOGY

So you're on a bus, and you think this is the greatest bus ever!  You can't wait to get to your destination, and this bus will be taking you there in style.  You're SO excited!

But as the bus travels down the road, it starts having trouble.  "Fear not" you say.  "This is still a great bus!"  But the bus seriously starts to falter, and finally has to pull off to th side of the road. It's dead.

The driver of the bus says "Ok everyone, this bus is broker.  You have a choice.  You can hop off this bus and take another bus, or you can stay seated and hope this bus can be fixed. But we don't know if we can fix it, and worse, it could take years to fix...if ever."

But you were SO excited about this bus, so you decide to stay seated.  Other buses come along, and they're working fine, but you decide that you're staying put.  Friends get in touch with you and say "Why on earth would you stay on a broken bus that may never be fixed??  Take another bus!"  But you've got tunnel vision, and just can't think clearly at all, or do what's prudent, or sensible.  

Eventually, everyone else decides to get off the bus.  They know it's broken and there is no upside. They agree it sucks to have to transfer to a different bus, but at the same time, have to agree that it's moronic to stay seated on the broken bus, especially one that may never be fixed.  You now sit alone.  Even the driver has left.  Other buses continue to  whiz by you, and there you are, sitting quietly in your self-created mess.  


There is NO upside to this scenario.  Seriously, you want to sit on a broken bus??  Of course, ANYONE would immediately move to a different bus...if we were actually talking about bus rides. But we're not.  We're talking about stocks.  So replace the word "bus" with "stock".  Why would you stay with a completely broken stock, if you would immediately jump off the broken bus?  There is NO difference.

Yes, I agree. Your losses are truly cringe- worthy.

So which bus would you recommend?  Last time you tried the air bus Air Canada and that crashed and burned.

Not at all. At the time got out with a nick on Ac, and then bought back in recently once omicron looked to be both quick and light. I'm already up close to 10% on this round. The bus analogy always holds true.

Wow, you might actually be more delusional than OptZero.  Trick you out of shares? No, not at all.  But I have made quite the effort to stop people from losing money....hence telling them to get out back at $44.00 As for buying shares, that won't happen.  The risk/reward on this stock is COMPLETELY messed up, and the risk at this point is extreme compared to the reward.  ...more

Absolutely.  I had the good fortune to have mentors teach me the ropes, out of nothing more than their own generosity.  This stock is an absolute textbook classic of what can go wrong, and how people on these message boards will pump the hell out it and possibily suck in others.  I don't mind doing what I can to at least help these people, who would otherwise be fleeced into ...more
