Albert-- Patience in vast quantities is what is needed to succeed in investing in microcaps. Life being short, patience is always in short supply, but if you take the long view, and review what we know, perhaps you can gain heart:
1) Ben, and the rest of HeartSoft management, is busily engaged in filling out the paperwork required for funds to invest in the company.
2) Thinkology is winning high praise in any magazine it is reviewed in.
3) The market for children's software is growing exponentially as computers plummet in cost.
4) Ben Shell has an excellent plan for the company, and a vision for where he wants it to be in three years or less.
All that being said, is HeartSoft a shoo-in to succeed? Not by any stretch of the imagination...the competition is fierce, and a small company like HeartSoft has a lot of elbows in the way.
But a product like Thinkology literally sells itself. You yourself have said you love the product.
I hate to see HeartSoft's share price go down by even a penny, Albert, but I know that down the road I may want to buy more of this stock (yes, more), and the people that selling are really doing me a favor by selling out.
So am I selling for tax purposes? Nope. Are you going to? That's up to you. Will this stock be at 10&$162 next January? I don't think so, but if you do, then it make sense to sell now to buy then.
But I am giving this one a lot more time. I had an eighteen month to three year time frame on this investment when I got in, which is now ten months to 26 months. Has anything changed about this company? Not that I can see. So I an NOT selling.
All of the above is just my humble opinion.
