For an investor, one of the most important skills is knowing when to cut your losses. You don't hang onto a losing stock all the way to zero.
One thing I like about Treliving: He does not seem to be the kind of guy who gets emotionally attached to his own decisions. He signed Setoguchi, he waived Setoguchi and sent him down. Bad GMs double down on their mistakes. Treliving has a way to go before we can say he's a good GM, but by that standard, he is not a bad one.

That's not really what I meant but I think we agree. It's terrific news that our team makes better asset decisions and I'd agree, but saying this scenario is terrific is like saying you're happy you only lost a little bit of money on your stock instead of all of it. At the end of the day, you lost money.
