Thanks. Good point. I will add that to what I have learned so far. As for the money to lose. I had some extra discretionary money laying around so if it goes, it goes. I bought in for two reasons. To learn how the market and trading works(also via books), and to feel the thrill and excitement of watching my money grow(or the pain of watching it go down the drain). I don't have very much invested(5,200 shares)... about 400 bucks worth all together so I figure if I loose it, the education gained along the way will be worth the price. I tend to learn through real world experiences and other investors better than from books(Although those have helped some). So any of you that have real world experience feel free to share it.

I have already fallen victim to one pump and dump via a different message board, but I would not have learned how it worked if it has not happened to me...so I chalk that up to a good learning experience. It is not so bad to have a slice of humble pie once in a while I guess...LOL!

This is still better than dropping 400 at a casino.

I am taking my 5200 shares and parking myself here for a while.
