I'm expecting the stock price to drop at least 20% the day the 10Q comes out, only because nothing UPDV reports will make it's investors happy (but maybe a handful, myself included). Most people are too impatient to let a company evolve. They expect things to happen overnight, and that's just not the case.
I owned a business for 21 years until I sold it in 2005, and trying to grow that business was very difficult to get anything accomplished in 5 years, let alone a few months. In fact, I kept dumping money into it for the first 6 years until I was in a position to start drawing something out. It wasn't until about the 10th year that it got to the point where it more or less ran itself, without me having to be in the office every day.
But the first 7 or 8 years it was a lot of blood, sweat, tears, money, and 70 hour work weeks for basically no paycheck. But as it ended up, it was all worth it as I was able to support my family and put my kids through private schools from Grade 1 through college. I had a lot of naysayers in the early years of my business telling me to throw in the towel because it wasn't worth it. But I'm happy today that I didn't listen to them.
Too all the unhappy UPDV investors who just can't take it any more, please sell it all and get on with your life. Nothing's worth putting yourself through such agony and misery especially if you feel that there is no hope. As for myself, I still see a glimmer of hope and realize what this company is going through. It's not as easy as most think.
And to those who sold UPDV shares at a huge loss in the past but remain here day in and day out only to remind everyone what a crappy company this is, step away from the computer and spend the time that you free up as quality time with your spouse or children, or your friends if you’re single. Life’s just too short to live such a bitter life.
