Yeah, everything he says makes sense, and is part of the same stuff others talk about -- pressure on short term results instead of long term, etc. -- but given the nature of this company they are more vulnerable.
Not sure how he could give current shareholders the right to stay in as owners of a private company. Last I knew if you had X number of shareholders (400 or 500?) you would automatically become a public company and subject to reporting requirements. But maybe those rules have changed, I no longer do '33 and '34 Act stuff.

I bought it at 41.52, thinking I had picked it up on a reasonable downswing after it fell from the high of 46.23.
So at least I didn't lose as much of my ass as I could have. From what I just read though, the long-term outlook is still very strong and the drop is just china's market being shit right now. Either way this is probably the last foreign stock I buy. They're way too volatile. |

If it makes you feel better, I've lost 90+ percent on a stock before. JDSU haunts me. I think I first bought it around 120 and sold it at around 3 or some such thing. And it was not a small holding, either, because I kept buying as it went down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JDSU#Stock During the 1990s, JDS Uniphase stock was a high-flyer tech stock investor favorite. Its stock price doubled three times and three stock splits of 2:1 occurred roughly every 90 days during the last half of 1999 through early 2000, making millionaires of many employees who were stock option holders, and further enabling JDS Uniphase to go on an acquisition and merger binge. After the telecom downturn, JDS Uniphase announced in late July 2001 the largest (up to then) write-down of goodwill. Employment soon dropped as part of the Global Realignment Program from nearly 29,000 to approximately 5,300, many of its factories and facilities were closed around the world, and the stock price dropped from $153 per share to less than $2 per share.

The funny thing is that I don't remember. I was investing in individual stocks as early as 1991, but I don't remember how I researched them. And I was very active and technical in researching them at that point.
