There have been a number of NOT investors that have held quite a long time (years and years rather than months). These people have seen this stock goe through its throws of growth and high speculation. They took a chance on something they felt they could build confidence in and wait until that confidence blossomed into something big. I am expecting that few of them expected a stock price increase ot this magnitude.
To these long investors I believe a round of applause is in order...they gambled..and they won. Are they overnight successes...NOT. They are the same overnight success that the 18 year old that has become a star on stage is...the same child that worked for 12 or 13 years, through good and bad auditions and performances..to blossom into a star. Somehow "overnight success" does not really describe this type of success. It's more the blood and guts, fueled by unnerving stress that has created an investor of this sort.
The point...don't give up on dips..don't leave the play to see those who hold tight bounce back up and move to the next level. The be a long player you need to be prepared for good and bad and be prepared to weather through both. Sometimes you win...sometimes you lose...sometimes you find the exception, that being Noront. Keep the chin up..it will get rough somewhere down the road..build core shares..grab some profit..whatever...but don't drop your holding altogether..this is the best play out there right now for the share price adn potential. You can make lots of dough with RIM, Google etc. but not at 6.60 a share.
Hold tight and enjoy the ride...
One final word..I personally would like to thank MJ who gave me the lowdown on NOT on the SH forum (before Agoracom started up). MJ is an honest, gunslinging investor who has had his share of success and failure like most of us (read his posts). He's been there to help too, not unlike Al, Misfit1, Bravekind, Canesco (with an o not 0 at the end), crazydik, goliloks, stratopod and a plethora of others here. Listen, learn and be prepared. We'll all enjoy the ride that much more. GLTA
