Ok they are theoretical investors, interesting.
Let's imagine if I had invested 7 years ago, took a genuine interest in the activities of the company and what they were trying to create, didn't listen to people peddling investment services or shorter thugs/high volume trader thugs trying to screw me over via a combination of psychological/algorithmic thuggery and -not at all plausibly deniable but ingrained self interest of the market operator/organised legal crime syndicate- thuggery (offering zero to negative support to the company or its investors they intended to make money off through creating synthetic volatility and taking from both ends) and instead did my own research, accepted a certain level of risk, made my own decisions and held my shares through good and bad periods both in my life and the company's fortunes. Then continued to accumulate well over a million shares when a huge company like Mercedes (just as a possible example amongst others) decides to publicly validate their work as being commercial. Oh, gee well maybe ARM listing the company prominently on their website as a partner might have been a good thing as well. Of course this is all purely a case in hindsight.
Let's imagine also that I sold some at a great price around that point, changing my life (having felt Id done my bit of risk and personal pain) and still held 2/3 of those shares in the expectation of the company producing increases in revenue over time whilst massively increasing their talent base and profile amongst potential partners in order to become cash flow positive. And then imagine that that revenue did increase in a non-linear manner over time. Would I panic and dump the rest or would I then have begun to consider the possibility of significant potential growth of the company and its activities possibility leading to greater potential dividends given the very high margins provided by their business model and the ridiculously enormous and varied markets for their patented IP.
Gosh I don't know. Just as well it's all hypothetical. My head hurts so I'll just have to hypothetically pay some benevolent advisor to talk me out of it.
Well done Straw.
I have been on a similar journey over a similar timeframe, although I did not take advantage of the MB announcement, which in hindsight was my error.
My mistake, I think, was in sticking too rigidly to my plan and to have not included a scenario to take profit in the event of an extraordinary circumstance.
Frankly, that hockystick rise had me somewhat giddy at the time, and I kept printing off hardcopies of my portfolio trying to convince myself of its veracity and understand just what was happening. I have to admit that on my part it was simply "rookie error" that had me transfixed, staring into the headlights, instead of acting.
Happy for you in that you kept your head and had the balls to make an advantageous decision at the time.
We live and learn and I'm not complaining of my strategy as it is/and has, served me well, but I am grateful to be still able, as an old dog, to learn a few new tricks.
Am also grateful that Zeeb0t has set up this "safe space" for us to share our experience, research and reason with each other.
Hang in there, Friends.
As you can see, it can be done.
Dunno if we'll all wind up with islands and superyacht's
, but can certainly see much more comfortable and stress less live's ahead for holders.
Thank you to all the great contributor's along the way.

I hope it's great, perhaps more than 5 mill of cash inflow
