Suez Canal

That does not appear to be too promising....unless I am missing something.

The nationalization of the Canal took the world by surprise, especially the British and French stockholders who owned the Suez Canal Company.

Robert,
I own GX, have for years, sold some, wished I had sold all, but like many longs, thought GX had a unique asset for the future. I have lured here for a while, and know you to be a 'true believer". However given your Suez Canal q, am I to assume that you now believe that we current shareholders are "doomed" to a dilution in some form, and that GX will be a survivor?
Two q's pls. Only honest y/n, and if you have stated elsewhere, I missed it. Are you still holding, and will you buy more, if you are still holding?
TIA

Robert,

It took more then a human lifetime to make back money on the Suez canal. Not a very good analogy.

The business press has been foisting the "buy and hold" mantra on unsuspecting people. Don't join them.
