Don’t worry about the betting the farm on CFC. I wouldn’t put all my my eggs in one basket. But even if CFC gets “bailed out”, long term their stock is bound to go much lower than it is today (just look at the chart since 2000, it is pretty clear where it came from).
I understand your point about the “easy money” syndrome. It is for that reason that I’m shorting this thing all the way to the bottom. I learned my lesson in 2000 also, the mistake was going long on equities and I lost a shitload. If I had shorted tech stocks in 2000 I would have made a killing. Well now I AM making a killing.
