Trading is not a sinister activity. It's how many people make a living, or supplement their income. Anytime you can make a buck at a risky venture it's well-earned. I am not good at it, and the tax consequences of doing it killed me in the past. Each to their own. I am not in love with any stock, or company. I know that they don't even know I exist beyond a name on a roster of shareholders that they may review from time to time. This is purely a speculative investment that I really hope beats the large odds against it. I follow it daily only because I have so much wrapped up in it, and it gives me something to engage in when I'm not busy elsewhere.
