I believe I've matched up liens and releases or satisfactions except for about 190K in 4 remaining loans from the Small Business Association, but there are two things that make me think it's better than I understand:1) The foreclosure doc asserts that "the line of the plaintiff is superior in dignity to any right, title, interest, or claim of the defendants, (list of defendants including the HOA and the SBA) and all other persons claiming by, through, or under the defendants and the property will be sold free and clear of all claims of the defendants...This asserting that it's superior makes me think that any other lien is inferior?

It crashed after that meteoric rise (fake accounting scandal asserted by a short seller) so I bought back in 5 to 15 range (10 to 1 split adjust) after the crash and had ridden it back up to 46 and added more modestly last month on the panic sell off.Having said that, I invest in China because I like the Chinese play a very long game.

Having a woman to woman adult conversation would likely not work with her as many of her assertions aren’t accurate and she will not back down from them.Thanks to anyone who can shed light.
