I'm honestly not disgruntled, I just find the story interesting, much like many people get into TV series, as I've said. I'm up to season six and I'm going to continue watching to the series finale. The discussions here are honestly very amusing. Step away from them for a week or two, then emotionally disconnect yourself as a shareholder, and they're really quite comical and surreal. Some of the characters in these discussions are bizarre - the most extreme permabulls are just outright absurd, some of the bears come out with comedy gold, particularly Rob, and there are plenty of characters who serve as models of what mindset traps need to be avoided for investors, and it's much better to learn from other people's errors than to make your own to learn from.

Then there are characters like yourself who seem quite polite and level-headed, but continue holding despite the signs which to me have seemed incredibly obvious that this was going to crash. If you're not in love with the company and plan to strategically run for the door as soon as the price surges, it doesn't make sense to be holding now (IMO) since there are so many signs the price will fall over the next year if not more before it *might* then increase if things go remarkably well with a lot of luck. If that's the strategy, why not sell now and buy back in a year or two or whenever it seems strategically beneficial to do so? I can only assume that you are in a mind trap involving having already bought in and being unable to accept it was a mistake. Obviously none of the current holders would have bought what they're holding if they knew they'd still be holding it at 2.2c (unless there actually is anyone here who is holding on an average buy price of significantly under 2c, but I doubt that) and I'm pretty sure the majority of holders would not buy back in on Wednesday if they fat fingered and sold all their AGY tomorrow. I'm human too and not immune to these mind traps, so watching the sufferers helps me avoid them.

Jerko is a jerk, but I don't even much feel like I'd want to slip him those laxatives. I don't much care, he's just doing a fantastic job in the role he has; his job is to convince people people to like the company and buy/hold. Given the state of the company, he has done an amazing job. How many people here have said they were feeling negative or worried, then emailed Jerko, got a response and spoken about feeling much better? And then of course the price collapses further. He is brilliant at responding to so many emails and making the vast majority of those people feel positive despite the horrid state of the company. People often accuse him of being stupid etc, but he's actually very talented. Not that I'm saying he's a good person, he's an evil con man, but I admire his level of talent. My duty to myself is to recognise people like that and move away to protect myself, but I don't receive any benefit from slipping laxatives into his coffee, and it wasn't personal enough for me to seek revenge. It's very interesting that you hold such disdain for him but still plan to hold for a period of years.

Meditation is good, it's one of those things I often think I should do but rarely get around to. Pepsi is terrible, it tastes as bad as it is unhealthy. I can't recall taking a sip of it in more than a decade and with any luck never again will.
