For “blindsided”—from the Raging Bull penny stock investor forum, http://ragingbull.quote.com/mboard/boar … C&read=948
Post in a thread about a company’s decision to do a reverse split on a stock (cutting the value of shareholders’ stock):
<<You think we got blindsighted, but I feel this is a property exchange. A Texas property in a hurricane area with high costs vs a much larger proven mass gas area to develop and the working people in place to help. According to the news release, the new property also has some good tax benefits. >>
