Ditch the dogs.

Is the dog more likely to to recover than your "star" is likely to keep flying?
While you are right - it is hard to cut losses, it is normally much wiser than cutting your future gains!
KW had some saying about buying in downtrends and the same thing applies (within reason) about selling in uptrends ...
Obviously - DYOR - someones dog might be someone else's hero ;);
I appreciate all the sage advice from everyone. You will no doubt be pleased to know I am taking up my rights at least. :) Now all I need to do is transfer the sales of HBL so far, (only sold half my shareholding) from my non interest bearing account into my heartland bank account and learn to sit on my hands and not invest any money anywhere else no matter how good it seems. (the sitting on hands may not be as simple as it sounds)
Man, I missed it hitting $2, thought I better sign up for the rights issue today!
If HBL's banking services are as efficient as the way they handle direct debits then things can only be positive. It must have been pretty much as soon as my form arrived on a desk the money came out of my account.
