In other words, even if your thesis is correct, this stock might go nowhere for a few more years. The question then becomes: How long will be you willing to wait?

Personally, in situations like this, I usually start to question myself and will seriously consider to offload the stock for other better opportunities!"

I can understand this sentiment, but I would normally limit myself to thinking like this where the stock price is less than the asset value. That normally requires a change in management or catalyst, otherwise you're sitting on your hands for a while.
Bruce Greenwald covers this nicely in a few of his lectures (available on YouTube) - specifically his case study on Hudson Pacific (or is Magna the name, I forget).

UOS is not in this basket. The market may ignore it for a 3, 4 or 5 years, but how can it continue to ignore a growing dividend that has an amazing amount of certainty behind it? This is not just assets, but a strongly performing business too. Eventually, value will be realised. If I have to wait 5 or 10 years, so be it.
Try to 'simulate' a huge recession in KL by adjusting balance sheet/P&L values accordingly, then see what you'd be left owning at the end of it. The company holds a phenomenal amounts of assets per share - and with some of that being cash, a property crash bigger than that of the US in '07/'08 would be required for book value to be less than the share price (it was at the time of my purchases).

Yes, if this was an "asset play", it would be a very different story. But this story is about far more than just assets.
