I've held many of bags. Some of them all the way to a smoking hole in the ground. But several of the bags turned out to be winners that far outstripped the losses.

I prefer to invest in the management of a company, rather than the financials. I'm willing to see them through the bad times if I believe they're on the right track. I've been a patient investor of Intel since the 90s. But a couple months ago, I finally gave up and sold it. It pained me a great deal to do so, but Intel just seems to have lost its mojo.

Sure, my Twitter stock may have tanked under Musk. But I am willing to be patient with him.

Let's say I invest in 10 stocks, and hold, hold, hold. 3 of them go to zero. 3 do modestly ok. 3 do well. 1 goes up a hundred fold. The other 9 are irrelevant.



And thus WalterBright describes to us how VC's make money... risk and reward.

(Hi Walter. Love your posts...)


Thank you kindly!

My investment strategy is not advocated by any investment advice I've ever seen.
