Happy Birthday Gooferball. Thankfully 80 is the new 60!!
But I'm starting to think like you at this point. NLST is a buy and hold not so much for me, but for my kids (and I'm only 58). If it does what we want and think it will (one of these days), they will benefit well. If it goes the way of the dodo, they will have to earn their own keep.
After sticking around for 80 years, you deserve to be capitalized. I do question your smarts for investing in NLST, as I have mine numerous times, and everyone else here for that matter. Unfortunately, I do agree that our kids and possibly grandkids will reap the benefits before we do. And that's why we're all here. Let's try for another 80.
