Dtrad, the only thing you nailed on the head was the silly old fool part.
Yes the board have been spruiking a JV for the last few years, but even blind Freddy could see that the plane crash changed everything. The new board were still chasing a JV, but when talbots estate sold out and the Chinese bought in, it was a game changer.
Your problem, is that you thought SDL was going to be your meal ticket and you had already spent the money. Things change, so you need to be flexible and simply blaming it on the board is just a cop out for the way you played the game and got emotionally attached to the stock.
To sit back and say that you are not happy with 57c cents because of what the board said a couple of years ago, is just stupidity. Circumstances change mate and they have.
