Not a bad time to sell your invested amount
and keep the rest if you got in at 11 or 12
cents

Ride your winners ... sell your losers .... that is how you make money in the market .If that were the case people would be dumping this thing because the majority are under water. this stock has been a loser for most.

So, "if they don't sell a losing stock it's only a paper loss... IT'S A LOSS!!!"

But "if u bought USPR at .11 you are up 100%... paper gain or not..."

My question is WHY IS A PAPER LOSS TREATED DIFFERENTLY THEN A PAPER GAIN????????

And please, if anyone thinks a paper gain is a gain, try to call any broker and ask if you can have access to that profit. Tell then you want to buy a boat. A paper gain is unrealized profit and unrealized profit can become realized losses real quick.

And please, "ride your winners"? Now we are saying sound investment advice is not taking profits but riding winners? So rather then having realized gains (which is more money for investors) the suggestion is to hold off on that because the paper gain might soon become a larger paper gain. Seriously???

What happens if an issue occurs? What if results are delayed and the stock drifts? What if the results are NOT spectacular and the stock drifts? What if political unrest returns and mining is put on hold? What if political unrest makes majors want to look elsewhere rather then Mexico which means USPR needs to raise million more to support a mining operation? They've had such success raising the money needed for Plasma.

Don't take profits but rather ride your winners because they may, MAY, become larger winners??? Yea, sound mb advice. I hope people get actual investment advice from someone.
