11-20-25: The best laid plans of mice and men…My alert went off this morning for the dead cat bounce sale. Doing my due diligence, I started at Yahoo! Finance and noticed two separate insider buy stories at the top of the summary page. That drew me to my reliable Insider Insights source where I saw a total of $33,144,763 insider buys since I bought in. Rather than stick to my original plan (there is a school of investing that would insist on it), I’m going to hedge a bit and set a stop loss for a smaller percent than I had planned and hope that I get to post some good news here next year.
11-05-25: Picked this up dumpster-diving this morning. The chart shows a steady decline, so not the greatest long-term play. It also shows a tendency to perform a dead cat bounce after each crater. My play here is to see if it bounces ~18% and then set a trailing stop. At that time, I will also look at it closer and decide I will just take the money and run or save the resulting free stock. And, of course, there is always the possibility that I will lose the principle, which is why I didn’t buy a significant stake.
