Interesting tale, but I have a question. If you've been writing letters to Barron's decades ago, I assume you've been around the mill once or twice to know the shady dealers.
Why then would you buy a penny with a history of four reverse splits that each time wiped longs, watch it climb 2000%, and sell none? NONE? For a 20 year Barron's guy in a pinkie, that makes very limited sense IMO, no disrespect intended. Didn't you do homework? What happened?
Not to claim at least part of a profit like that is a one of the saddest stories I've heard all month.
Anyhow, take profit brother next time. IMO of course, at least a partial position, especially when dealing with a four time RSing pink.
