for those who believe CNP will recover, the only bad thing about the SP dropping is not getting more shares for the outlay of money. So whilst it's a bargain, it could have been more of a bargain. :-)
I think what drives most believers is getting in at a cost is a better option than missing the boat when the SP rises. Which as you've probably seen is a fast event.
You hold now, so what do you hold for? A recovery or not to realise a loss?
Also it depends in my mind how much you have invested. A few people on this board have in excess of $500,000 worth of CNP stock.
You need to be comfortable topping up. Or look at it this way. It'll allow you to bail if you so desire at a lower SP.
Personally I see the dividend payments of the last 3 years and as a believer and a largish holder I would be happy with 50% of those amounts in a few years time.
