SEEEEEEEEE---THAT is 100% what I need to learn is not to get excited or too attached (but ALWAYS easier said than done)--the stock market is fickle and she's going to burn you either way at some point or another!!!!! I find myself getting in a little bit, then watching it go up and wanting more and more (because I am apparently a greedy little biotch!) HAHA--and then I believe that whatever the company is hawking sounds like a freaking TERRIFIC idea and I'm pulling for them because they "should" be successful!!!
But these pennies, you're right--there's often a lot of exaggeration, a lot of 1/2 truths, alot of shady behind the scenes crapola going on...I need to get 1000% better about recognizing them for what they are and truly only looking at them as plays instead of as investments. I VOW to do better!!!!
Right now I want to sell ALL my positions and buy 400 shares of Amazon before they report earnings because I think they're going to shoot up $100 a share, but if I did that, the capital gains I would owe on my Nvidia and Ntflx shares at the end of this year would probably put me in the poor house. Instead I will watch from the sidelines and just feel annoyed that I bought Amazon when it was at $30 and decided that there was no way a company operating out of someone's garage would ever amount to anything and got out (hello Apple you did the same thing!!) but alas, that all goes into the coulda, should, woulda bin!! Right!?
