I think you are mistaking frustration at the timeline for lack of confidence in the company. You are also ignoring the systematic and deliberate attacks on the share price by large players who are making a killing on shorting this.
As far as working for a company that didn't make money for several years... until it did, that actually worked out rather well for me. It gave me the opportunity to work on project that had the potential of making a real impact on the industry, and ultimately paid off really well and allowed me to buy my first house a couple years out of college.
It used to be that investors put their money where they thought there would be long term potential rather than where they thought they'd get rich over the course of a month or so. That short term perspective is doing a lot of damage to the foundations of the investment culture and will end up causing a lot of people to lose a lot of money when the house of cards comes crashing down around them. I understand the allure of quick returns and am guilty of putting about 25% of my portfolio in more speculative positions and feel your frustration when things don't pan out immediately. MVIS is not one of my speculative positions however -- my current position dates from 2017 and I fully expected it to be at least a 5 year horizon.
