Out of curiosity...why? As part of an index fund or directly?

Vanguard is going to have to start conducting independent audits.

Why? The whole point of indexing is not to do that. Feel free to move your money to an active fund that tries to catch out companies with lies on financial statements.

Or perhaps an indexing that does.

That would be active management

Directly.

By choice? Did you do due digilence before deciding to invest?

It was sort of by choice at the time. My algo picked this out but at that time I was still manually approving trades.

I was buying and selling pretty quickly when the stock was doing good. (I back tested this before buying). Then the stock lost value to where I didn't want to sell anymore. Now it is down a lot. I may dump my position and now short the stock as I think after this news it is going to tank tomorrow morning.

Technicals work until they don't.
