I have been investing for a number of years and one of things that I've learnt is to be patient. If the company is sound, eventually, it does pay to be invested, but it can take time. I've been guilty of getting bored and hopping from one company to another and it can make you a few quid but it rarely makes the big bucks. I've missed out fortunes by being impatient and it's something I'm determined not to do here as I believe SDX is an unfolding gem of a story that will have it's day, but I just don't know the exact date of when that will be. Here's just one example of how impatience cost me; In 2010 or 2011, I bought 2500 shares in Croda at 400p. They went up and down a bit and around 6 months or so later, I sold for 450p. So my £10k investment made £1125, not bad, I thought. Croda shares are now worth 5000p today, and not to mention the dividends they've paid out in the last 7 or 8 years, the capital gain alone would have been £115,000. I've got a few other examples of pretty much the same thing where I legged it with a few quid after a few months, when holding on would have delivered big bucks and it's taught me that patience is key if you believe you've backed the right horse. I will remain invested here unless/until something changes that tells me I'm wrong about the prospects of this company and hopefully my big pay day will arrive, preferably before I'm too old to enjoy it! This post is of course, imho!
