It has indeed. I found your board through your profile when you got in SMKY, and when I first started buying WNRC at .11, I almost sold my entire position in SMKY at a large loss, as I first bought in at .03 early Dec 2010 and had averaged down ... but had grown impatient. I'm quite thankful to Eddie for his availability through email ... and thankful I held all of my SMKY shares. Now I've continued to add WNRC and ISML. Although it's nice to see ISML moving up, I keep hoping for some other things in my portfolio to make a move in time to add to my position there.
Do you remember when SMKY was at around .06 and I posted on there about cleaning out my garage? I did. I sold power tools, some kitchen accessories, and 9 guitars. Granted I probably sold at a 30-50% "loss" of what I paid for them, but I bought more SMKY, and as it's been trading at 6-7x where I bought with those funds, I think it was a good "sacrifice." :)
Funny thing is a lot of my friends think I'm reckless playing pennies. Having these hidden gems makes me much more disciplined with my money, as I want as much left over at the end of the paycheck to put into my brokerage account.
Not only am I on my way to wealth, but I'm developing financial discipline at the same time...win-win.
Look forward to the next few years with all 3 of these (and possibly a couple more).
