Rasta I think alot of us are in the same boat with our investments when it comes to the Shaw dome and the nickel ventures (or can I call them adventures?) we have invested in.
Boy what the same money could have done elsewhere? Hindsight being 20/20, I keep looking at Teck and wished I had bought some when the crash came a couple yrs ago. Oh well. The tough part is as you say, hanging on and giving a company/investment another yr to show upside or at least start trending in the right direction. Weigh out the time for that compared to parking your money in another investment.
Many things factor into such financial decisions and timeline can be a big piece of that. Internal and external influences are up there as well. Ultimately the almighty price of the basemetals we mine and or explore for determine the profitability and prospects.
Cheers
