nearly have 9 years into this company and i was ignorant in trading then, if i knew what I know now i would have pulled out and stopped listening to what could be vs what is happening....unfortunately/fortunately i have FOMO now but do feel I could have used this "long term" investment to a much better use leading to this moment, at lease I was able to get back to positive gains from this long hold transitioning from a share investor to a share trader since march...had a big loss from another company in feb/march who i also held because of listening to what could be vs what was actually happening. Some big learning lessons this year which gave me the proverbial kick up the A$$ to be more proactive in my trading and risk adverse(still in speculation stocks but give them the boot when words aren't formulating action to see shareholder return)
