Citizens Financial Corporation shares cashed out

My shares of Citizens Financial Corporation were cashed out at $7.25 this morning. That works out to be a 9% return and 68% annualized. This transaction took exactly 2 months and nearly a month from when the reverse split was effected. That took longer than I had planned and I'd started to worry that something had gone wrong. Today, it was as if a heavy load had been lifted from my shoulders. Intellectually, I knew this transaction would likely take a while since only rarely do they pay off quickly. But emotionally, it has been difficult to see those shares sitting and waiting to be cashed out. There is an emotional toll to investing in zero liquidity stocks.
