that depends on if you think you need a lifeline  , SOL normally has a healthy amount of cash   stashed away handy   , and they tend to help the business get going  when the plant a director on the board  , BUT the turnaround  is normally very slow and patience-testing

 i have ( normally ) done very well  once the Milners grab a chunk of the company  ( the exception to date is AIS  , for me  )

 BUT you have to pick your time to average down  AND your targets  ( not all will be winners )

 it is also a good idea  to  recover that investment cash  when well in front  .. then the mediocre returns  are coming back  'on free money '

 i hold SOL , BKI , BKW ('free-carried') , LAU ('free-carried' ) NHC ( 'free-carried' ) , CLV ( 'free-carried' ) EQT ( 'free-carried' ) ( although i was in there before SOL ) , XRF ( 'free-carried' ) TUA ('free-carried' )

 had a very nice ride on TPG  , before David Teoh  departed )

 i have made worse choices in the market  , but with the Milners in there ( in the company board ) you DO need patience
