can't be blamed on the stock, sorry to say. It reflects only on the level of gullibility of people who take their investing advice from newsletter writers.
Funny thing is, even bad entry points can be overcome on a rising star, if you stick it out. But everyone has their own pain thresh-hold, so sell if you think you've made a serious error in judgment. Nice thing is, you can use it as a write-off on your taxes!
See, there really is a positive side to everything!
