October 17. That is the date we should all be looking to. It will help ease frustrations...
I have been in LQMT for five years. That is average for a long term hold. At least 5 years. Most of the huge gainers, including APPLE, you would have had to be in much longer. Those that got into Berkshire Hathaway, had to wait a few decades for the big return. Some are worth TENS OF MILLIONS NOW...
Like others here, the hardest thing for me was to hold a stock. My inability to hold was caused
by OCD. Once that was cured, I could hold..and what stock was I in, when that happened?? LQMT.
Everything about stocks is based on "trading". That's the name of the game, but it isn't what's going to
bring the wealth. Oh yes, there are traders that will tell of a weekly gain, etc., but they will never tell
of the losses, and over time, like a Casino, the House wins. I'm betting 95% of the time.
Is it hard to look back to what could have been considering the stocks I've been in, if I had just held?
Yes. All the things I could have done, that I don't want to do now. A main home plus a condo in a few select places. Fancy cars, exotic trips. Well I have been on exotic trips thanks to a job I had.
Even Korea...where a helpful liaison officer, convinced me to let him make the hotel reservations...
for me and two contractors. "Unless you want all the bells and whistles, I can get you a good place",
so I said hesitantly..."ok". Well, his "less bells and whistles" was a house of prostitution. The "girls" were still taking their things out of the rooms when we got there. I moved us all to a better place of course.
But a funny memory.
OCTOBER 17...that is our goal...don't get all twisted up until then. Okay? Get out there and enjoy life.
