agree  Willeke Barens: tot het einde volhouden, erbij blijven, doorgaan, daarin volharden
1 hr
  -> Dankjewel
disagree  Laurens Landkroon: I have to disagree here, because you don't literally "stay at a distance"/"erbijblijven", when you invest money somewhere.(maybe if you want to keep your "eye on your money".......)

  -> As the wording is' stay the distance' I intend to disregard your comment!
