^ @disaster Sure all rational (partic yr post 681) , but the thing you are missing is "reward - for holding risk"
With the current CR policy of this company you are not being rewarded for holding risk
So why take it?
The only (potential) reward for holding then becomes an ability to gain on a timing risk
(As in a previously unknown upside event)
However then, you are making two assumptions
1/ it will occur (for a positive outcome) and
2/ you will receive that knowledge/benefit before anyone else.
I'd argue though 1 is possible, 2 is unlikely
So without direct support taken by the company to reward you (as an existing holder) and only you..why take any risk at all?
It becomes like gambling
Who invests capital when the risk reward becomes very slim?
Why not sit back like "Gamestreet" and wait..
Sure you won't be able to beat Main(Game)street ...they have many many (hidden) advantages ...(if you don't know what they are then will all due respect, it's time to stop being a small individual investor)
You won't catch any instant upside, but you will have plenty time to gain (in the long run) ..if the long term goal and outcome turns to profit, without the risk taking at all....
This is Peter Lynch 101.. and what I learned years ago with this stock and reading him carefully..
Have you read any of his books?
Cheers and the best with it
