How is this a real story? Lol
Members of the Four Tray Gangster Crips gang nearby got tired of their internet going out—and of the added police presence the copper thieves had invited—and notified AT&T security when they saw suspected copper thefts in action, Alcutt said.
You can´t ever really tell. And with shares, holding over time is strategic depth. As long as you don´t need the liquidity soon, you can wait. Remember, when you sell them to buy something with better performance, there is no guarantee, the other stock will actually perform. I personally consider Nvidia well overpriced. But is may go either way the next months and in 3 years it may well be worth what you already paid.
So: There is valid reason for your stubborness.
Only checked them now for a minute, but they don´t seem like a paper you want to hold over time, if you have a certain risk appetite and value expectation. Their climb rate from 2002 may have some ups and downs but still appears nearly to linear. Institutions with little risk appetite might like that. But they should want more dividend.
They seem to have decent swings, though. So they look more like a traders paper to me, where you buy the downswings and sell the upswings. They had at least three opportunities to catch an > 10 % swing in the last 12 months and the years before look similar. So yeah. They can make you money, but they will make you work for it. (And keep in mind you wouldn´t really time the bottom and top all the time). I might put them on my watchlist.
To be fair, the one year chart isn´t very helpful, since you are basically looking from a top a year ago to a "mid" right now. If you go back to February 2024 and chart from there, they seem to have delivered a decent turnaround from their previous decline. Projecting that further would see the next top somewhere ot 110 within half a year to 9 months. Which would offer an exit point for you if you so desire. 102 was just a pretty high entry point.
But then again I don´t know anything about stocks to really talk here.
