Just checked in after spending a day at BRITISH MUSEUM. Saw your post. It saddened me a great deal...

Let me say my friend, there IS NO ONE POSTING HERE that can be deemed STUPID. Not especially you who clearly can express yourself so succinctly in three small paragraphs...

Viewed in the cotext of human history that is contained in the BRITISH MUSEUM, your taking several hundred thousand dollars paper loss by selling your shares and getting out of EDIG is but a grain of sand on the beach of time...

I implore you to make a distinction between GREED and STUPIDITY...

It was GREED that kept you in, and you did not sell at $24.5. And it is the same GREED that is holding you hostage at present...

Bosocker, I assure you, you are NOT STUPID. Like most here you are caught in the jaws of the VICE called EDIG, and you have only two options: (1) Take your loss, whatever it will be, cutting the missery fever you are suffering with by owning EDIG; or, (2) decide to run with the same old same old for couple of more years till this drama plays out. Only waiting 2 more years will rob you of the chance of buying some stocks that may recoup your losses in time. For at this juncture the stock market affords a great opportunity for buying some stocks that have some solid numbers behind their name...

If there is one thing I learned by acqaiunting myself with the History of EMPIRES dating back 6780 Years ago, who dominated their world at the time, is that all things human come to naught...

As the Great Poet OMAR KHAYAM said it best:

FOR IN AND OUT, ABOVE , BELOW,

TIS NOTHING BUT A MAGIC SHADOW SHOW,

PLAY'D IN A BOX WHOSE CANDLE IS THE SUN,

ROUND WHICH WE PHANTOM FIGURES COME AND GO.

Good Luck to yout...

Cheers from London...
