Thinking about it more, I suppose I don’t know, perhaps they were perfectly happy.
However, in my experience, when you set out to find a thing and fail to find it that often leads to dissatisfaction.

Oftentimes in human affairs the stated reason for a decision is not the true reason. Especially for speculative investments, there are usually multiple motivating reasons.
How do you know what their evaluation of their investment was?
