It's a really long story, as I've been a customer since 1986, the year after Protel (as they used to be known) started.
Protel (PRI) floated in 1999. I first bought in, in 2000 I think, I think I might have a parcel that cost $6 per share, but technically now sold a parcel at 17.5 cents ($1745.80) from June 2005.
I have and do talk to management (board/CEO) often, and spend about 2 hours almost every day (for 25 years or so) on their forums talking with and helping customers plus a number of other things.
When Altium was going bad, I led the movement to remove the founder and then CEO, writing letters to shareholders and form memory, I think I spoke to most with 100k holding or more.
So I'm not just a passive holder and it was-is very much a long game.
Take what you can from that.
