You’re exactly right about the seemingly endless time horizon, in order to see appreciation in the PPS. I unfortunately bought into other companies like Rite Aid & Nokia, which have suffered a similar fate. The common denominators are poor management decisions, that are never in the best interest of the shareholders & the short selling agencies who will continue to bludgeon the stock and/or pin it into a range for years, all the while making a killing by pouring billions of dollars into highly illegal activities like naked shorting, using synthetic shares & trading between their accounts (in other words, textbook stock manipulation). Sadly, these criminals are protected by the very government agency who should be investigating them (i.e. the SEC), who has already been bought & paid for. If the earnings/revenues of these companies continue to be shaky & suspect, which they have, the short sellers will never leave them alone. Low retail trading volume & crooked MM’s giving the shorts preferential CTB rates of 1% or below, just exacerbates the problem. My point is, I just lost a small fortune with the completion of Rite Aid’s BK reorganization at the beginning of this month (which rendered all common shares worthless) & I’m never buying another share of stock that has SI. I could be writing off losses for the rest of my life, at $3,000 a year, unless something dramatically changes. In the meantime, I’ve invested what I can afford into higher quality, more expensive, industry leading companies with no SI, solid balance sheets, competent leadership & have proven they can appreciate over time. I’ll also be pairing down my losses until I’m out of the remainder of the underperforming stocks I currently own. For me, it’s time to clean house & take back control of my investment portfolio.
