I can't seem to remember being happy to take any loss!!
The substance of what you wrote is true; so many "can't miss" companies do miss. However, I'm long RECO because if they are successful, the reward to shareholders will come quickly; unlike what I've owned in the gold exploration space where they find gold in the ground but rarely get an actual mining company involved and when they do, it's often more than a decade later that mining starts.
I'm sure a lot of folks here have had the experience of owning some of those!
