Well im not interested in taking the risk of investing in a non-profitable company (even though most of you on this forum are willing to take that risk and thus the high rewards so far).

But I do think the APT business model has long term potential and would thus invest in it after it can deliver steady investment returns via dividend, whenever that is (I mean its basically a bank right?).

What I want to avoid for myself is the following:

- APT stock selling off in the near future after it becomes profitable and is growing at a slower rate, as early investors sell out to chase the next "big thing". I would want to time my purchase until after this sell off.

- APT valuation constantly increasing even after it becomes profitable, meaning the P/E ratio never comes down (i.e: tesla). If this is the case then I would try to time my purchase to the point where the company was just about to reach profitability level. This way my return on investment dividends would be calculated based on my purchase price rather than the constantly increasing valuation price.

Growth stocks will inevitably become value stocks in the future and that's why I'm trying to get some idea on Afterpay's potential when it does reach that level.

If you're waiting for a steady stream of dividends you may be waiting another decade and likely buy APT at multiples of today's SP.

But I respect your decision. You have a clear strategy and are aware of your risk appetite.
