Let's take a different direction here - if I told you that an 8 cent stock would grow way more slowly and go to 16.5 cents in one year - not 4 months - and more or less continue at that rate of appreciation, would you hold it for a total of 4 years? I would hope so, because it would be a $1.44 stock. An 18 bagger. I've had two tenbaggers, but never an 18 bagger. Does that put my point of view in perspective? We need patience. It's too late for us to go back in time and not play the poker hand in which we lost 75% of our stack. But we must not try to win it all back in the next half hour either.
