We hope (and pray) that we've made good choices so that our money will yield a decent return. We hope that we've invested in the "right thing."

Speculation about the Google Sandbox and Why New Sites Have to Wait
It is common knowledge that sites with new domain names have to wait a long time to feature significantly on Google's results pages. When you think of how important it is for new sites to rank highly for chosen keywords in order to get established and start trading, and how many of them there are, that makes this a very big deal.
