I agree and I disagree Krusty.

If you are trying to obtain a large position then you need to start accumulation over a longer time frame so you need to start early. But this is based on accepting that you will have your money tied up for a long period( You accept this as an owner of the business). So in the years to come when the price hopefully reaches your target SP you cash out and say "thankyou very much". So yes the SP does need to up to make money. Is it a waste of time for my Capital? not in my opinion!
Have a great day
