"So i have an investment that has underperformed for 9 years and you say ignore the PPS."
In all seriousness, did you expect that anything of significance was to be garnered in that time frame?
Depending on where you count from, for me it's 2000 to March 2008, being 7 years and 3 months...of wait and see.....and HOPE!.....lol
I had conveyed my thoughts to others back then that it would be 6 years....and I have no regrets for waiting around.
I saw it for... what it was....what it wasn't....what it could be....and what I still see.
Nothing in life is for free....even when it's said to be, or you interpret it to be.
I'm looking at 40,000,000 to start and I'm not looking back.
