I'm not sure how many posts it's going to take to tell you I did hold on, and that's why I didn't go broke and had the money to investment into my own biz.

I think at this point you're just trolling me now, so I'll end it with one more point:

If you know anything about Warren Buffett, you'd know his main thesis is to invest in only the things you understand. That's the advice I ultimately followed to end up in a better place.

Holding onto investments that you don't understand is not his advice at all - that's just a shitty platitude.
