TRUTH: Wow. Feel better getting that off your chest?

If you bought ALYD originally at $0.40 you've held it for a very, very long time. Since before June of '96, which is as far back as the chart goes. The lowest it has ever traded while being charted was just under 10 during May of '97.

If I had watched this stock go from $0.40 all the way to 32 1/2, and was still holding it at 17'ish ... I guess I'd feel a little grumpy, too. Look at all those profits that would have slipped through my fingers. Why, I'd be darned right upset!

If I had been in that situation, and sold at 30'ish, just think of all the shares I could buy back at this level. Or, if the shorts have their way or the investing community doesn't like the idea of a secondary (IF?), I could have bought back at even lower levels.

Yep, I suppose if I hadn't locked in those profits, I'd be REALLY grumpy.

I think there's a lesson to be learned here. Wonder what it might be?

Thanks for sharing your experiences. We can all learn from each other by utilizing this wonderful communications medium that SI has provided us.

Isn't it interesting how one's perspective can affect one's thinking?
