There is more differences. I really don't consider myself a trader at heart but an investor. 70% of my portfolio is stuff I have owned for more than a couple of years. But with this company, i am forced to be a trader. I want to own the shares while they increase in value. If I give some back when there are bumps along the road, I am ok with that as long as at the end of the year I can see that I have the size of return I am targeting or at least that the next year looks to make up for it.

This is where there is another important difference. Most investors are looking to build some wealth whereas you are looking to grow your wealth. If you already have wealth, your perspective can be quite different and your strategies can also be quite different.

Who ever said that the first million is the hardest was certainly right. But once it is made, the next is all that much easier. And at some point down the line, patience can be exercised and a lot less work is needed.

I am like most investors right now, I want to make some wealth. PTQ has the potential to do that for me but just having potential is not enough. Are we entering a new phase in the growth of PTQ where potential is realized? I hope so, I would love to hold onto PTQ for years. But I have to see a track record to make that commitment.
