RE:RE:RE:RE:bankruptWith all your respect, it is a stretched explanation. You went back to the 2012-20129 period to argue that you made a lot of money, fine, but leaving your money there cost you a lot in opportunities in addition to the 50$ to 15$ pull-back.
Yep, you made money till 2019 but since 2020, that money was dead.
Said otherwise, your 50X return (from 1$ to 50$) in 7 years from 2012 to 2019 was a 700% per year return. Now, it has been transformed in a 15X return in 12 years ; a 125% per year return.
From 700% per year to 125%; a return dilution.
You already explain that you are trapped by the fiscal aspect of the problem; you didn't want to monetize your investment to avoid paying taxes on your gains. So, your choice, but this constrain had a cost for you.
Many have made money with AC in the 2012-2019 period (it was a game changer for me), that is the past. Any analysis has to look at the new situation as a new one. Everything has changed. I never include my 2012-2019 gains in analysis since march 2020. At this date, it was a complete new story.
I said the same thing on the Bombardier's board; forget the old Bomber story with the trains, the c Series and al. ...and forget the 20$ you pay in 2005; it a loss. Period. Analyse th new story with all its merits without old historic disturbances.
Binding the 2012-2019 profits in the current return analysis put a distorsion in the equation and mislead the decisions....as many did.
Fine if finally, the AC share will have momemtum and reach the 20's or more again but these gains will have nothing to do with the 2012-2019 gains. They will be the result of other decisions (staying invested) , an another story.
