Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc (IPIX)

It's called a stereotype for a reason. If anything my statement wasn't general enough. It's not just shareholders who are impatient, but too many companies play right into this mentality, and take decisions that benefit the share price in the short-term, at the expense of long-term shareholder benefit. We're in the second biggest bull market in a generation, and people want prices to rise, and rise quickly.

But if your investment is down, and there is nothing fundamentally different about the company, its market, and its prospects than when you first invested, and it's not yet 12-18 months MINIMUM after you invested, then either you are, by definition, impatient, or your decision to invest in the first place was wrong.

Case in point, the suit brought on Cellceutix that alleges investors lost money because of misleading statements from management about the efficacy of their compounds. The timeframe for "losing money" was, IMO, far too short to be a valid claim. If you're down on your CTIX investment, the fact is you haven't been a shareholder for very long at all.
