<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clawcoins, post: 3136098, member: 77814&quot;]If the company is unable to reengineer their processes to support their growth then they have issues ....</p><p><br /></p><p>The thing is .. hopefully the company will expand, create more and more revenue which will sustain that stock price rise year after year.</p><p><br /></p><p>To look at a simple company model of how a company grows, then stalls, look at the history of Home Depot.</p><p><br /></p><p>They relie upon same store YOY sales statistics; and pushed that theory.&nbsp; But to increase revenue, they had to identify a store location that could attain YOY sales increases, etc.&nbsp; They are a growth of physical locations.&nbsp; But once you start swamping every place .. you start having issues.&nbsp; See Walmart, Target, Kohls, etc. in this same paradigm.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall the Growth % really depends upon when you get in.</p><p><br /></p><p>For instance, I Initially bought Priceline at $1, Apple at $4.</p><p>Anyone buy Amazon a decade ago ?</p><p>Versus buying Priceline at $1600, or Apple at $3,000 (2-1, 2-1, 7-1 splits since).</p><p><br /></p><p>As Kurt said, &quot;the timing&quot; was 7 years ago after the market collapse and when things started getting going again.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, there are tons of companies that also went bust.&nbsp; Also just went sideways.</p><p><br /></p><p>It comes down to &quot;timing&quot; which is based upon one&#039;s research or just getting lucky.&nbsp; I started buying Apple because Steve Jobs came back to the company.&nbsp; Period. Because I knew he would bring his own &quot;intellectual property&quot; wealth to the company.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve bought into other companies recently that have had exceptional growth.&nbsp; Some duds.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it&#039;s always a good time (as long as it&#039;s going up) to get into the stock market if anything at least an index fund such as nasdaq 100 or S&amp;P500.&nbsp; You can wait for a &quot;correction&quot; of which the correction low may be above where we are at right now.&nbsp; OR a &quot;large correction&quot; which may be a year or two or more off.&nbsp; It also just comes down to you ability of pulling the plug when it needs to be pulled versus being &quot;emotional&quot; about cutting your losses or cutting your profits.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most PM people are &quot;emotional&quot; about their &quot;investments&quot;.&nbsp; It&#039;s so pretty seeing gold in one&#039;s hand.&nbsp; Stocks on the other hand you don&#039;t really see .. you only see a number.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it&#039;s only too late, if you never act.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
