PS Can you say that loss writeoff is a way to recover investment?
I've certainly seen some clever accounting going on
IMHO loss writeoff would be less of a loss than deploying ATM
and having to live with it. It's not that I hate ATM per se,
but why pay the performance penalty when ATM provides no value
