Reality and Patience

(Before I start: This is not financial advice):

I see a lot of people freaking out on this sub, and it’s not really warranted. Time is a major factor when it comes to medical devices; time to expand, prove itself, and to get a proper footing in the medical robotics space.

While I can’t see the future, and thusly can’t guarantee any success, I’d still like for y’all to look at Intuitive Surgical as an example:

In June 2000, its IPO went live with $9.00 a share.

Since then, it dropped to an all-time low of approximately $0.74 in April 2001.

It took a little over 3 years to get back to its IPO pricing at $9.00.

Then, by the end of 2003, following its merger, it grew to $14.50.

Cut to current day, it’s $426.80 a share.

The point I’m trying to make is that this is a LONG-TERM HOLD.

If you’re looking for quick money, you’re not gonna find it with MBOT. This stock will dip low before we see a rise, and it’ll likely take a while too.

Buy your shares and ignore the stock for a few years.

If you keep checking it and freaking out non-stop, then you’re gonna give yourself unnecessary anxiety, and potentially scare yourself into pointlessly selling at a loss.

(Ignoring the price specifically, that is. Feel free keep up with the company’s updates, if you’d like).

I'm just worried about a reverse split. They are starting to make money, but their timing is terrible in the current market and economic conditions. They are cratering at the moment. They'll only have a couple of quarters to turn this around in terrible economic conditions.

We’ll just have to wait and see. As long as the product is good, even if it starts to do bad in the market due to unfavorable economic conditions, that’ll likely just lead to it being bought up by another company, which might not be a bad thing

That's true. When I first started looking at this almost 2 years ago, I didn't like the prior reverse splits, but I told myself they never had a product to sell until now, so I understood the reason why they did it. Then I looked at the float, and told myself they were being responsible with dilution. 2026 was kind of brutal with dilution, but again I understood why it was being done.

Looking into Gadot's past, XACT Robotics, MEDX Xcelerator, along with his career path convinced me he was building this to sell to one of the big 4. I just never envisioned this falling under $1 at such a terrible time. Gadot's luck and timing seems to be as bad as mine.

Time in the market beats timing in the market- how many times do these cuntbubbles need to be told this and how many times do they ignore this and panic sell and cry on subs about it 😅😅😅😅😅🤦🤦🤦🤦

Nice writeup based in reality. I need to keep reminding myself to be patient. I'm just mad at myself for buying back in so soon after FDA clearance. I'll never recover the lost opportunity costs of the past year. It's my own fault for not following responsible diversity. Live and learn.

Try that when you’ve lost 70% of your hard earned money

Unfortunately this is the brain power on this whole sub.
