    Had some once and they tanked. Company was taken private.

    Owned a ton of Merck stock and had it split a few times. Depends on the company.

    Congrats if you hit it big.

    Its a private company

    Got them at their valuation last May, and they are up 20% since then

    Obviously I only benefit if our value grows, but I am very confident

    Most likely not

    Ownership hopes to sell the company in ~4 years

    36,000 shares? Must be a penny stock, which means it has no where to go but up.
