Dream situation, for sure, B-man! Some have learned through KBLB that being an early investor in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity may not be for them. Others realize, like you said, "it will be worth it in the long run for all of us."
You have mentioned the possibility of a buyout many times and it is now starting to make sense. If everything quickly accelerates as we hope it does than we greatly benefit over a period of time. If progress moves forward at a slower but adequate pace (this is most probable), with Kim and Jon the only ones with a complete picture of the timeline, then maybe it has been a decade well worth it. There is more money down the road but it doesn't make sense to get greedy when you are running out of road. Less time to spend and enjoy it. Also beneficial to the investors. Maybe we are in a win/win situation. I hope so for all.
