This is an important question, because it fully explains the stark difference in the emotions, temperaments, and outlook of the investors here.
Yes, most of my blocks of shares were bought at 0.07. Although, I've averaged up quite a bit along the way as I put my money where my mouth was during our recent volatility. Just checked, and I even have a 3k lot bought at 1.80! IN MY HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT. ON THE HUGE RED CANDLE DOWNTREND. Not particularly proud of that, but I'll share it with you guys because I can't with my wife. I'll likely have to sell that lot for a loss at some point.
Now, my over all cost basis across all accounts is still less than our current share price. I've made posts about us longs needing to sympathize with and educate investors who were caught in the middle of the OTC-wide pump and dump. If your heavy bags weren't here, trust they would be somewhere else. Consider yourself luckier than most that you landed with a company who has a strong case for making a long term investment.
I'm fully aware that if I hadn't gotten in so early with so much, that I'd be singing a different tune. Conversely, if some of you had been around to watch the story of management facing down the barrel of bankruptcy, navigating a pandemic on top of it, and staying alive slowly beginning to thrive ....then you'd also be singing a different tune.
How do you think WE felt dumping money in, and holding, during a period where there was no clear path to solvency, much less profitability?! The ticker was constantly shit on then, too, and couldn't seem to break free.
Bottom line is my post history shows nothing but honesty and willingness to help, for better or worse. I apologize if I've led some to what they assume was a poor investment decision. Know that I poured a lot of heart and time into each insight I tried to provide.
I'm just some Dad grinding my life away at a hospital while watching my daughter grow up through FaceTime. I've gotten pretty good at this stock thing, though, and have already made enough to let my wife retire at 31. I plan on joining her before 40, with IQST being a part of that conviction.
Investing is not a team sport, and everyone needs to make the decisions they feel are best for them and their current situation.
