You know, some of us live long enough to perhaps draw some conclusions about being anything other than an optimist. What is the worst case scenario?
I invested in SSEV back in the day and have a nice FREE RIDE going on here. Now clearly I am not interested in losing my investment, but I remained invested as I saw considerable promise that HLNT would survive, live long and prosper. I based that on my random Duh Duh and made the decision to go with it.
Now, the difference between me and perhaps some other traders is based in my philosophy concerning GREED. I've spent literally thousands of dollars studying my GREED weaknesses and what happens in my brain that may lead to being a dumb ASK. I also found that FEAR is a byproduct of GREED. So, and I know that you understand where I'm going with this, I don't allow GREED to take control over my better senses thus I also do not suffer from FEAR, FEAR, FEAR. Pretty cool, huh!
So I don't know that I am necessarily an eternal optimist as much as it is that I have an understanding of my RISK TOLERANCE LEVEL and trade accordingly. Some people, many traders, want to strike it rich in one felt swoop. That's great, if it works for them. But if they agonize over their investment position and feel FEAR, FEAR, FEAR as a result of their GREED, you just have to figure that they either enjoy the pain or just haven't matured as a trader to the extent that they are comfortable with their trading style and rules.
The way I see it, if I have a bottom fishing play in a microcap and decide to place a $3000 bet on it, that works for me. I don't need to up the anti every time there is some fresh news release or a pump going on for whatever reason. If I buy something at 0.0008 and it runs to 0.008 that will mean that I now have $30,000. That's good enough. There are other plays in motion and I don't want all my eggs in one basket nor do I want one play to sweep the rug out from under my feet. Just my way of doing it so that I may remain optimistic. I mean, why tromp on my own investment strategy? If I don't like it, I change it.
HLNT is probably as much a convoluted risk as any stock can be. I mean, the bears are clawing at the doors and ammo is low. But if that were not the case, you could not be purchasing shares for 0.0018. Think about it! A producing company with products that are in demand and the opportunities are astronomical. Resolve the NIR issue either neutral to positive and this thing has plenty fight going for it. So what would you expect the PPS to be without the NIR deal? 0.018? More? Less? Let's see, 0.018/0.0018 = 10X$. This does not mean that there are not other issues or going to be other issues. But what are the chances in your mind of ever seeing 0.018?
Nothing to FEAR here for me. I mean, I don't know how it will all turn out, but I am optimistic. Best wishes for your success with HLNT and your trading.
