Coiled Spring, page-112

Your and Twin's points are crystal clear and make sense - but when I see 48.5% loss against my ADO holdings (which I've held or a year now ... I know , not long term, but it's still a lot of money to lose over a 12 month period), then it's frustrating, and makes me question how much further it can / may fall.

I jumped in, stupidly, thinking I had stumbled onto the next big thing. Spent most of my time researching via posts and information on this forum, which I now realise was a pretty retarded thing to do with ref: capital preservation and research.

I now do things differently, but am in the unfortunate position of having to decide between;

1. Sticking with ADO and hoping for a 100% rise in current SP to break even
2. Take the loss, sell, and reinvest in another stock and hope for a 100% rise to break even.

I still slightly believe in the fundamentals, but I also feel this is a sector which has huge barriers to entry, and timeframes which can stretch out to years, not months.

I'll continue to hold, but I can't say I'm happy about it - and I'm only unhappy with myself.
