Finally!
A hundred years ago in 2018 we did rather well in staff personal accounts with MongoDB. But we ... yes you guessed it ... sold too early and then missed the moment to come back. This wasn't purely forgetfulness, it's also because all the surround sound on the name was a little middling on the matter of product scalability, and the move to a more contingent revenue model (less certainty of revenue and cashflow growth) didn't help either. So we stayed away.
Then we missed a recent dip to the low 400s which looked like a tasty morsel but we got distracted by a bright shiny object elsewhere - probably TSLA which was taking a bath at the time - and failed to buy. Again. D'oh!
Fortunately our old friend the market has not forgotten us and it presented that self same opportunity again these last few days.
