We did the same thing in the July / August time frame when the O/S were about 400 mil. Responders accounted for about 1/2 those shares although Nello claimed to have about 50 mil at the time. Even without his 'claim' [which I believe was later found to be about right], that still left nearly 150 of the 400 million shares in the hands of readers of this board.
Not bad, eh?
It will be claimed that everyone who responds inflates their number to get attention, etc., but I don't agree with that.
Anyway, put me down for 12 mil shares. I am in for the long haul and will ride the ups and downs, but in the end I believe that those of us with real patience will reap real rewards for our waiting.
After all, every time the PPS goes up 1 cent, I add more than 100% return to my investment. If I were in American Capital, I'd have to wait for the PPS to go from $41 to $82 for the same return on my investment. Even with their track record in a business similar to SWVC, that will take awhile.
Everyone has a different investment style / objective, but look at the odds / timing for SWVC to go from 3 cents to 6 cents versus a $1 stock to go to $2 or $3 or $4, etc.
If one is not here for the short-term flip, then ask what is there about this company / business model that is so desireable? And, if it's good now, why sell at 6 cents or 15 cents? Rather, doesn't it make more sense to keep track of the plan, measure performance and watch the PPS rise slowly but surely?
