Well said, same way I look at it. I have set goals financially. I personally like 5 and 10 year goals. I plan on being financially free in 10 years. I am not counting on AMFE for this, but I believe it has the potential to expedite my goal. I'm not a trader. I will buy during good opportunities,(like yesterday) but I will not sell. I would love to see the stats of someone who takes 40k and let's it sit for 5 years compared to someone who tries to pick winners daily and skim profits. Add on that the taxes and commissions day trading profits. When you find a company with the growth potential we have here, trading is not necessary, unless it is your only option(job).
100000 shares@ $.14= $14000 initial investment
100000 shares @ $3.50= $350,000 investment after 5 years
If there are any day traders that can make a better return then that, I will interview you to run my portfolio. I know certain days, everything on your watchlist might be green except us. And if you can't handle seeing this, I'm afraid there is no stock out there that will appease you. Long means Long. You research has either lead you to see an amazing undervalued growth company, or it has not. We can argue entry prices all day. But if the argument is a couple pennies right now, in five or ten years no one will even consider any purchase at the prices we have seen as a bad idea. Keep perspective, stay patient, and Prosper like a like a Buffet.
