Who\'s right - help me settle a bet with gf, w/ poll w/o mspaint
Here's the question. I'll say which side I am on later!
>inventory You have: 100 shares of ABC stock >look A stock exchange You are inside a stock exchange. People flitter here and there, doing this and that. On a giant screen, you see a display of recently traded market prices for various securities. In front of you stands a middle-aged man in an evening suit, top hat, tails, and monocle. >look at screen (the giant screen) The screen blinks as the prices are updated in real time. You see ABC stock trading at $20.00/$20.01. >think You remember purchasing ABC stock at $100. Those were the heady days of the internet/covenant-lite loan/Y2K/BRIC bubble. A pang of regret gnaws at you. >ask man about ABC (the besuited gentleman) "Sir! As a special offer, I am willing to buy your hundred shares of ABC stock at $40.00 per share, for a total of $4,000! If you wish to take advantage of this offer, please tell me! Thank you good sir!" >_ |

Given the information provided, of course you sell. Why couldn't buy back your 100 shares for $20 from someone else at the exchange after selling to Mr. Monocle?

Buy more shares at $20. Either it goes up or you eventually wind up owning ABC. Win/win.

my Q is how did you lose 80% to start off with and not cover n00b
you should have cut your losses long ago. I say sell but you rode it out this long , it doesn't matter what you do rly you might as well keep beating that dead horse |
