It is unfortunate that you would allow yourself to be swayed by headline-grabbing media.
The numbers are here for you to see. The option of where your 20K go is always, obviously, yours.
However, it seems that your decision, which I state again, is perfectly valid "per se", is being based in poor quality information. You strike me as a businessman, and I'm sure you wouldn't base your business decisions on poor info either.
Just think about it.
