My investment is profitable only if the company delivers on what was communicated to me, because my investment is based upon the information I have on the company and from the company!
That's why I traded over time....
It lessened my risk substantially, while making for more than ample rewards.
Still have those core shares.
Investing long-term can be no different than being an angel investor of a private company....
Investing with the assumption that one day the company will be worth CONSIDERABLY more than your initial transaction....
Either through significant achievements, which lead to prosperous revenue streams....
A buyout....
Or an IPO (only case that doesn't apply).
--------------------------
Alas, hindsight is 20/20....
If you knew then, what you know now....
I truly hope things begin to pay off for one and all here but it appears that 2019-2020 may provide more realistic indicators of price appreciation....
