I remember the doom and gloom of 2 x stocks I held substantial amounts in until they had a change in business management, in both cases the fundamentals were excellent but the sp was a smelly dog at the back door, SBM got down to 10c (now about $3) and GXY tanked at 6c (consolidated but now $3.75) If your going to be in species it's about the potential of future growth and the fundamentals. The upside can be life changing and generous but the pain along the way can be almost overwhelmingly depressing. In both cases above it was a hands on clever and honest Managing Director that changed the game. GLTA
