Thumbs up from me for, shall I say, a more balanced view point.
One of the hardest things for an investor to do is to sell lower and buy back higher.
Without being too personal I would guess that your expectations for AVB were much too high. I can remember I had high hopes 3 years ago of getting rich quick. While I held AVB I ventured out onto other stocks and not one was successful. Sold each one for a loss and placed what was left into AVB.
IMO, AVB sits right now as a reasonably secure long term investment with potential high gains.
Will you double your money in the next 12 months? Probably not.
Will you make 20% to 30% in the next 12 months? Most likely.
A chance of doing better than 30% in the next 12 months? Possible.
