Looking at the big picture..

Looking at the big picture..Hi Everyone. This is my first post. The reason I finally decided to post is that the group on here is making an intelligent contribution and I thought I would add my views and support the group effort. First of all to be clear I am long QTRH and have been for many years, so I have "skin in the game". 

The author Nassim Taleb, in a great book titled  "Antifragile" talks about "asymmetries". By the way the author has a PhD I think in finance and was a very successful options trader. This is where QTRH comes in. As many of you have posted, the company has a substantial cash position, which is growing, and will be substantially enhanced when large litigations are concluded.  In my view these are on the whole issues of timing not likelihood. Moreover their clear mandate to expand the business into other technology based businesses is surely a major driver. 

Basically asymmetries are large non-linear benefits or consequences that far outweigh the likelihood or cost of the opposite happening. So they can be both positive or negative. Investing in QTRH is as many of you have suggested in other ways a positive asymmetric investing opportunity, meaning QTRH has the potential for significant non-linear growth with little downside risk. Its all about the disproportionality of potential benefit relative to the downside. Assymetries define how we largely make decisions about everything, including investing, which is why perhaps the book Anitfragile is the best book about investing that was never written specifically about investing.

One other thought. A stock can do nothing for years like QTRH has done, and all the major movement can happen virtually overnight. 

Thanks for reading this.
