First off, raptor, my hat's off to you for your Vietnam service, I sincerely mean that. Communism was the single greatest evil of the 20th century, and no one dies in vain fighting that murderous/dehumanizing beast. Can't believe socialism is suddenly acceptable in the USA, defies belief.
I did fly the ageing Stratofortress (you'll never see an article about the Buff without the 'ageing' adjective), was a '38 IP, too, so your Raptor moniker has always intrigued me. I have friends of freinds who have flown against the F-22, and they just shake their heads; Viper or Eagle, its not even close. And not making the full production run of those aircraft might have been the single biggest defense-related mistake we've made, China would have serious second thoughts about starting anything against thirty Raptor squadrons.
Re: your investing strategy and CTSO, you're obviously a much better stock picker than me. I did subscribe to the Motley Fool for a while, and they did recommend ISRG. I bought some at $40, it didn't move for a few months, so i sold it...and I think after the various splits, that's like a 20 or 30 bagger now. So when I found MSBT, I told myself just to hold it. So I have. I missed the 6 cent shares, my lowest entry was 10 cents, and now my average is in the $7.00 range. So - underwater for now, but until I see a valid technical reason for me to doubt the efficacy of the product, I'm in. No competition, totally safe, a cheap alternative to drug treatments (and for sepsis now, I don't think there are any viable drug treatemnts) and apparently, many possible non-sepsis uses.
So that's what's so frustrating, because with a product like this, I think we should at least be in the 20's/30's. I think I predicted $28 by the end of 2019, so right now, we have a ways to go. But right now, I see no single better investment opportunity, so it's the only stock I own. All in!
