Well...
I cannot let this momentous occasion pass without spending a few words. Miller has sold his shares.
I became interested in WINR when the first pennystocks report came out. Each day I ran metasearches on the company and compiled a file of their press releases, including those of companies which existed prior to winr (does anyone remember Comstock or Davki) but were the seeds of our investment. WINR began to take shape. One day, my search turned up a post on WINR on SI. Of course, at that time there was no WINR thread. WINR was being tossed around by wvmayor, dave gore, and Miller. I was not a member of SI at the time.
As I lurked, Miller started the WINR thread. From the start, the thread was a fact-intensive, no nonsence sharing of information. I tried to share my DD with an early poster, via email, but my info was not passed on to the thread. I then established a trial membership and began communicating with Miller via PMs (at that time, trial members were not permitted to post on the threads), sharing some pretty gol-blang good stuff. He wrote me back refusing to post my DD, distrustfull, until I stated my intentions and proved to him that I hadn't personally written the code on the URLs I referred him to. After establishing a comfortable level of trust, he posted the info. He also continued to post his own DD....the likes of which are unmatched in my surfing of the many threads herein.
So now Miller has sold his shares...and he posted that fact. If you read back through 2000 or so posts since he started this thread you will find a post wherein he stated that when he decided to sell he would share that information with the thread. I have made the same promise. Why did he sell? I will stake my reputation on the fact that it had nothing to do with influencing the price of winr. Obviously, we all have different risk and comfort levels. He reached his here. These levels have everything to do with with personal economics (unencumbered assets), combined with short and long-term objectives. Investing is an individual sport. OTC investing should only be played with surplus income. Apparently, the assets Miller was gambling with on this stock were not so discretionary as to allow him to continue at this risk level. Therefore, he was wise to leave. The analysis is different from investor to investor.
My personal investment in winr is currently funded entirely through a discretionary surplus in income. Therefore, I can tolerate a high risk level. Of course, I wouldn't be here if I didn't have some confidence in a return on my investment. However, I wouldn't be as invested as I am if I was worried about next month's mortgage.
My point: Miller's departure is a purely personal decision based on his tolerance of risk and his current level of discretionary income. We can't fault him for that, and there is absolutely no reason to flame him. Perhaps circumstances will change and he will reinvest in winr. I will always be happy when he turns up with a post on any thread I am a part of.
So, for the present, I am still long on winr. I have never sold a single share, and like Miller, I will post a message to the thread when and if I ever sell, which I don't anticipate happening for some time.
