What To Do When One Of Our Portfolio Stocks Goes WILD
Well it’s been quite a month for the emerging growth stocks we cover at NBT Equities Research…
From initiation to high trades our last three additions to the buy list were up over 200%--in just a few weeks.

Our favorite strategic resource play…this time uranium via Uranerz…moved 40%+ off the bottom of its trading range.
My point?
That IF you are fortunate enough to pulls the trigger on one of our sponsored research stocks and it rockets 100-200-300% higher out of the gate…don’t be an idiot—SELL at least enough to get your original cost back…and then some! This is the publicly traded venture capital game…and one of the KEY advantages is LIQUIDITY.
Private venture capital investors have almost NO options for liquidity—which can really hurt their overall returns.
A compelling report out from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation describes how over the past decade, public stock markets have outperformed the average venture capital fund and for the last 15 years, VC funds have failed to return to investors the significant amounts of cash invested, despite high-profile successes, including Google, Groupon and LinkedIn.
The primary reason for these ABYSMAL returns for VC funds? They are LOCKED into their positions…in almost all situations. They only cash in on their winners with an IPO or buy-out (like Yahoo’s $1.1 billion buyout of VC backed Tumblr announced on Monday.)
But when they have a loser—or marginal return investment—they can’t GET OUT early enough to avoid a complete loss of capital---THAT is the killer of annual investment returns—a BAGEL/ZERO capital or 100% capital loss.
YOU as a DIY Venture Capitalist in publicly traded companies have a BIG advantage…by USING liquidity moments—big new events or effective investor awareness campaigns…to TAKE 100%+ of your original investment capital OUT off the table.
You also have the advantage to take BIG profits in trading rallies and then re-enter positions after the excitement is over and your favorite company returns to its trading range.
URZ is a great example of this…Pulse Beverage traded down to .40 at the beginning of the year…now $1.45.
GlyEco (GLYE) is at a great entry point here…so is BarFresh (BRFH).
My point is that you have to be an ACTIVE owner of our late-stage public venture capital emerging growth companies in order to make the REALLY big money…
If, for instance, you started with $10,000 in a portfolio of 10-12 of our NBT Emerging Growth Portfolio stocks…the idea is to use the BIG screaming up moves as a liquidity event…an opportunity to REDUCE your capital risk by taking 2-3-5X profits OFF the table.
IF you do this right (and a big part of my new book Next Big Thing Investing covers this) you will have taken 100-200% of your emerging growth capital BACK off the table…and own the remaining plays FREE and CLEAR...with ZERO cost basis!
To get that right…you HAVE to rake in the occasional 2-3-5X winner…we have a 20X winner with VELA from early October of last year to December.
Count ALL those profits taken against the original cost basis of ALL your NBT stocks—THAT is how you win the public venture capital game.

You are so lost Tobin!
In your article on PULSE dated April 3rd, "Be VERY greedy with your Pulse shares and buy on the dips if you don't have a postion." Now, in this article, you tell us to sell on the run-up, which we've already passed. What gives with your thought process. Your are a very confusing person to follow Tobin. I am assuming that the Pulse share price decline is related to this article, and if it is, you should be proud that you've taken the stock price down. Please clarify your position on Pulse.
