Hang in there MN, your 9, mine 8, others 5, which ever! Oil patches are slow to form. I learn my lessons well with this stock...I have "FAITH" you will get all you money back (principle + interest and more) if you would hang on for another 5 years or so. I don't know why but this is by far the longest individual stock I've held and I have a great "Feeling" that I will make A LOT OF money out of it.
