RCGL2 - you've touched on the sweet spot there! You are quite right with everything you have said regarding getting out Vs staying for a better price. In normal circumstances a normal investor would have followed your suggestions. I'm not normal, you won't be surprised to hear! (Same with others!).
I bought into this stock with these intentions and of course ideally to grow my investment rapidly and get out quick(ish). I entered Solg 'cold', ie: no emotion other than make a buck and move on. I am in a position where my investment here is 'not a lot of money'. I don't wish that to come across as blasé , seriously. I parked it in what at the time seemed an exciting stock and forgot about it. Then the forum sucked me in and I became emotionally attached to the 'journey'. And that is why I am where I am today:
But now, I am fed up with the whole thing. The company has lost its way, the forum is overwhelmed by long term bitter and twisted individuals and the SP is in the weeds.
Time to move on and (within reason) anything reasonable above my 26p average would satisfy my conscience, I guess. So a round figure of 40p seemed right (no logic behind that figure).
I can then look myself in the mirror and say...ah well, you win some, lose some but atleast I am out of Solg reasonably intact....lesson learnt. 10p over my average makes me around about £50k after 8 yrs.....ah well.
In summary.....I have lost the will to live over this stock....much more exciting elsewhere, where progress really is happening and at speed but I'm not allowed to mention GGP on this forum!
Now that is where the action is.....
We all have our reasons for 'hanging in there'. Most desperately need profit and lots of it. I just need to bail soonest with something mediocre to show for it.
If I stay, one of the following will happen:
a) Solg will flop c ock along forever and a day.
b) We will get diluted to kingdom come.
c) Ecuador could become another Peru/Chile.
d) The DFS could light a fire under Solg and the stock will errupt.
Do I feel lucky........not anymore with this company.
I wish you well and hope your plans work out.
