I remember buying up all the Bema subs in the late 1990s - El Callao, Puma, Arizona Star & Victoria. Then came the cold dark days of December 2001 when VIT hit 2 cents. (I thought the low was 4 cents, but yahoo finance says otherwise. I guess I erased it from memory). I certainly couldn't sell and have accumulated more shares since then.
Now, the future seems bright and it feels really good to be on this train. But man, it's been a journey.
