Glad I didn't get caught trading and miss the runup.
You mean like selling at the first pop to $7 anticipating a drop and getting caught outside of the run to $28......? Lol that is much worse than patiently sitting on a 300-400% gain!
A Longer Term Long at say $.25 has a say $13/share (RS adjusted) paper profit in about 7 years. A VERY nice return.
A less "devoted" shareholder could reasonably have been afforded a dozen opportunities (sans tax liability for those type accounts) to capture the swings in this young biotech. How often have we been told $1.25 was the chance of a lifetime by prescient time travelers?
To which side of those extremes one gravitates is abused in single mindedness too often. And as the familiar caveat to many investors....
Past performance is no guarantee of future returns.
