I'd like to mention a possible source of frustration that I know I am feeling that (IMHO) has to at least partially (or mostly) be kept separate from my feelings about GNBT:
There are unbelievable deals out there right now in other, high-quality stocks. It's easy to sit here and think about what I would be buying if the GNBT SP had popped when we thought it should have, and I had liquidated some of it for other investments. On the other hand, if we had gotten our windfall a couple of months ago, I might have lost 30% of it in the last couple of weeks!
So while I have considered pulling money out of GNBT to put it into some of the big caps that are on sale, I haven't done so yet for one simple reason: I cannot be at-the-ready at all moments to liquidate those positions and get back into GNBT when it finally pops. For the time being, I do not want to take that risk, as I still believe that pop will come this year.
I am very aware that I have put a large chunk of money into an OTC company. Many negative events, both in and out of Joe/GNBT's control, have happened and probably will continue to happen. That's the nature of the beast. Joe is pulling us though a swamp, and progress is slow sometimes. But at the end of the day, I chose to get on the raft.
As long as I can see the other side of the swamp, I will refrain from calling for an airlift out of here. In the meantime, I have to continue to evaluate whether putting my money into the "market" is better than leaving it in Joe's hands.
I still believe GNBT to be the better option for this chunk of money for now. So I have to keep telling myself (even more so over the past couple of weeks) that I can't let the frustration of other missed opportunities block out the reason I am here: a potentially unique windfall.
That said, I still hope somehow this comes together while there are still other opportunities in the larger market... I'd love to go shopping during this sale.
