I stopped counting the years when I was young so I am still 20something at heart. Great investment SOLG, hold some good amount and had traded some in the past, current P&L positive and in the 6 digits so I cannot complain.
However, like any investment, time is a meaningful variable so one has to consider how long it takes to multibag and we certainly have not enjoyed a particularly smooth ride since NM decided he was not going to sell. The externalities have not helped of course, from the Ecuadorian revolts to the trade war to Corona, but we would still struggle without them. I still hold that we cannot seriously look at those beautiful valuations we like to dream about as long as we struggle to get anywhere close to the previous peak, let alone get passed it, considering the amazing good news that we keep receiving. I doubt that NM's aspiration to leave a legacy in 20 years fits with a speculator's view when he/she invests money in highly volatile equity markets for SMEs, or maybe it's just me, I would have been happy with a sale at 50-60p two years ago when he could probably sell it around that level.
