Thanks for your responses. I threw up this thread in part to see what reactions I'd get. Bull markets tend to start when there's widespread skepticism - caused by too many folks who've had too much flesh removed from their bones by the prior bear - so the mostly positive responses have got me wondering if this call was too late.
Now that I'm one of the respondents, I'd like to point out that XEM has fallen back to 100 satoshis after bottoming out at around 90 or so. It's also faded from the top-ten in volume at Polo. It had a huge run because a major Japanese online bank, SBI, and the Japanese companies Infoteria and Sakura Internet are working on a private-blockchain fork of NEM
called Mijin. The stocks of Infoteria and Sakura exploded upwards, and XEM followed along: reaching more than 140 at its peak. Since then it's pulled back - making it consideration-worthy under Approach #2.
I am talking my book with respect to XEM - I hold ~3.1 million of them - but I bought so I can set up and run a
NEM Supernode. To do so, my balance has to be 3 million minimum. So yes, I'm talking up a major holding, but I pretty-much have to HODL all but a small fraction of what I've got.
Here's an interesting tip: Supernet, symbol UNITY, HODLs ~16% of the entire market cap of
VPNCoin, now #12 at Coinmarketcap. The UNITY market doesn't seem to have caught on yet. When I found out, I added 50 to my 100 UNITY in the Nxt Asset Exchange.
UNITY might well be a sleeper, on the basis of its HODLings; its
chart does look like a bottoming is in place. It HODLs at least 10% of its core coins, one of which is VPNCoin. But that said, I did mean "HODL". Supernet's prolly trading at a big discount to its NAV for a good reason: its HODLings have the time frame of "forever." There's no way to unlock the HODLings' value - which is a feature, given what Supernet is going to be - so UNITY trading at a large discount to its NAV is reasonable.
