Interesting discussion today! Yesterday poor Thomas Mika was thrown against the wall. Today he seems to be lucky enough to emerge as a Prince. Lots of precious booze being offered, Elephant rides through Vegas are dreamt of (now how much booze got wasted before those posts?).

Don't get me wrong - a change from all the negativity is greatly appreciated!

To put the 10 bagger into perspective: I had traded Opel with some Pizza-gains until I got stuck when the hype collapsed. Believing in Geoff Taylor's inventions I then accumulated just to be let down badly by the likes of PC and his close friends, one of which is still a hub leader here...

Sitting on enormous losses yet with good profits somewhere else I decided to sell the lot for tax benefits and repurchased at the same time at rock bottom prices. The point I'm trying to make is: a 10-bagger for my (now) first tranche is within reach. Not when I consider my previous losses and not for subsequent tranches. All in all I could settle for a 5 bagger looking at my age.

Here's the part that may not be really sad but "a kinda blues": I read from so many POET-Investors that seem to have resigned and settled for a hope of their children and grandchildren benefitting from their POET shares. I find myself thinking along the same lines. Then again there are so many things I still want to explore wit the love of my life, that my patience is running thin.

May I wish all of us to enjoy the fruits of our invest during our lifetime in good health? Not that we would necessary waste it with Vegas Elephants (they are far more impressive in the wild) or with throwing drinkable booze at people who may prefer "herbs", "mushrooms" or whatever... :-)

Here's hoping. What else can we do?

Cheers anyway!
