Great post!

Mine isn't so good...I'm 1099'd at my work and I got into a lot of debt with the IRS due to being young and not listening when they warned me that I needed to set money aside for taxes. It eventually came to bite me in the arse and my entrepreneurship ideas always flopped.

I used to spend literally every moment of my free time on the computer...Facebooking and reading news articles, especially research articles, statistics, debates over hot issues like heroin/painkiller addiction, gun control, etc. All stuff where numbers play a huge role in the arguments.

Then I saw AMD's stock was tanking, felt it was going to reverse itself hard eventually and thought, "Ok, why do I waste all this time reading, researching science and playing with numbers when all I gain is knowledge? Why don't I find companies to invest in that have solid fundamentals and learn to gamble in the stock market? If I invest as much time into researching companies as I do researching random sh!t, I'll totally have the upper hand!"

So I invested $1000 in AMD...got up to 500 shares near bottom.

But then it kept slipping. And I realized that big board stocks don't typically grow very fast and I still owed the IRS a fortune. I needed money FAST. My grandpa mentioned penny stocks to me and I started reading and found EVTI. So I sold AMD for a small loss (had I held onto it, I would have gained 600-700% a couple years later...) and I went all in on EVTI. It was a sure thing and I was planning to retire by 30!

...and EVTI was a scam and a diluted pig and I lost everything. I learned sure things are very rare in the OTC. So I found another one. This one really was a sure thing...started bringing in revs...and they decided to reverse split. But it was so we could bring in bigger investors and uplist so I doubled down before the R/S. Lost everything on that one too. Now I'm trying to flip it from $.0001 to make up my losses. We'll see how THAT goes....but I learned another lesson. Reverse splits SUCK. lol

So one day I'd been chatting with another member here who seemed to know what he was doing pretty well and we started trading our list of potentials and he said, "You need to check out SFOR...it's been through some tough times but it's about to fly, IMO." It was at $.001 at the time so I bought a million shares. It sat stagnant for a while so I got bored and my other "sure thing" was about to fly so I sold SFOR to double down there. SFOR started running the next day. Literally THE NEXT DAY. I managed to catch a dip and got some shares back at $.0014. Then I did a couple flips...got my investment back and some profits, lost a little on some failed flips, etc.

But I'm comfortable now and am quite possibly one good PR away from having all my IRS debt wiped clean so I can start over, work on buying a house, starting a family, etc.

I have learned that even sure things in the OTC aren't so sure, but in talking with Mark Kay myself and all the DD here, plus the current PPS and all the confirmed catalysts in the pipeline, I do believe I have found that diamond. I may not be able to hold it long enough to retire off of it, but I am very close to having it become a true life changer for me.
