I just looked at my Scottrade trade history for PBLS and I am cruising in on about 15 months. Always been in, but do have some trading shares that I buy and sell. The only way I've made money on this stock is by buying at a well tested bottom (like now), and even then it's been 50/50.
As far as trust. Well that's earned by promises kept and I still have time to wait for them to keep them.
