I'm a long term sufferer at the hands of hastie and (in the 20/20 vision of hindsight) I was a fool to average down my price when the capital raising occurred. Where does that leave me and HST?

Well, there's no way they can go to the market to raise capital again with such a disappointing return for all those who got burned before, who would chance involvement without a massive change in direction. Not me, anyway, so I might see my now-meagre position diluted if they can find a new gang of suckers.

I could sell, and this is where I chuckled. I looked at the volume and saw 19 trades or so have gone through for a total of $10k. What a pathetic amount, I thought but then I realised - if those sellers are like me, that $10k was once worth more than 30 times as much.

Will I sell? When you're left with 2k from more than 20 originally, you have to ask yourself if its worth the brokerage or, just hold on now for a punt.

I'm not yet decided, but I'm not selling today.
