"I am sitting at a paper loss of -$108,091.10."
"my holding was worth less than $40,000 at once point"
Doesn't add up mate.
@ $2.08 (lowest price) and at $40k, this would imply you have 19,230. shares ($40k/$2.08)
Therefore, even if you had purcashed right at the top of the market ($4.54), your holding would only be worth $87,300 (19,230*$4.54)
So how are you possible down $108,091?
Just intrigued
