I bought my first shares 14 yrs 2 month to the day. I remember it well,I was on vaca casting off an island at Popham beach, Maine. Gorgeous sunny morning and my friend was telling me about a stock tip from his friend who plays golf with King's father, at that time it cured SARS in mice and was going to be 50 dollars by October. Had dreams of being rich, now I am just hoping to recover my paper loss.
