It was a foolish move even for them, buying a crap stock on strictly ideological grounds.

It's like if your alma mater made it to the NCAA tournament but as a 16th seed, but you bet on them to win it all simply because they're your alma mater.

They are now cursing their decision, as they are currently frozen from selling at the moment.
