I agree, these "exit" strategies will be purely independent, individualized, and subjective. In my case, I have had every penny to my name invested into 100,800 shares of this company since 2017. My average pps is 0.23.
I am about $300k in debt including school loans and mortgage. At the least, my plan is to get the slate clean and be debt free, so I need the pps to reach a certain milestone. Ideally, if TLD is positive and pps really starts climbing, my plan is to sell off only what I need to cover my debt and let the remaining shares keep riding. On the other hand, if it's a home run, I may just hold on for dear life and completely cash out when I feel comfortable or of course take what I get from a buyout.
I am personally hoping for buyout or partnership.
But yes, everyone has different strategies and motives regarding their investments in the company, and will exit accordingly based on their own motives and agendas. I'm in a "do or die" mentality with my investment. This will either make or break me. Some would consider that to be purely stupid, others would say I have the biggest balls on the planet. I say... I believe in the science and have taken a calculated risk. I've shoveled shi* my entire life regarding career and finances, I come from poverty on both sides of my family, and really have nothing to lose. I've served my country, I'm educated and will soon be a nurse practitioner, I've adopted two children....I've tried to do right and set myself up for success but school loans and setbacks have kept me from being able to realize my "American Dream". I'm risking it all (which isn't much) to secure my financial future via investment in a high risk penny stock with an immunotherapy company on the verge of something that I believe is a game changer.
GLTA!
