Hello everyone!

Thank GOD I found this board! First of all, let me just say that you guys are AMAZING and I WISH I would have known then what I know now just by reading what everyone was saying here over the last few months. I have read every post from the beginning to end just this morning--- WOW -- I can't believe that you guys just offer your valuable opinions here for FREE! I gained more perspective here in an hour reading this board than I have learned fumbling around the market like Helen Keller for the past few months. I was enjoying watching the comments pertaining to the build of the 'over $2' and 'over $3' days and also all of the positive takes on the stock. I was feeling a little ill seeing the negative comments. I first bought in a small amount at $1.67. Then continued to buy as the stock rose and fell and rose and fell. Talk about a roller coaster ride of emotions! Too bad I wasn't smart enough to know to buy/sell/buy/sell/buy. (yes, I am THAT uneducated) I have just started (very ignorantly) trading (or shall I say buying) a few months ago. I have lost a bit.... mostly just in fee's- but am seeing the potential of what $ could be made if I only had a clue. I have never even had a discussion with a broker or a stock trader to gain any experience at all. I just kind of dove in and shot what money I had around wherever the wind blew me. LOL... I know- since then with the little I've learned, I see myself as an idiot. I guess I've been pretty lucky to only be out a tiny affordable 'learning curve' amount so far. I am so glad to see those of you who are so experienced into SKNN. I do really believe in this company and have wanted to be in it for the long haul since I came upon it by accident a while back. I made a huge mistake buying 1500 when it was at $2.88 which brings my average share price up to about $2.54 for my just over 5000 shares.

So here I am, on my knees hanging my head in shame over my foolish, naive, impulsive history to plead with you experienced ones to tell me it's OK. Please tell me that even though I have this much at this price that I can still send 3 of my teenage sons to college, bail my 5 year old out of jail someday and have my husband not divorce me for blowing my wad in 4 months with no council ;) LOL- no really, could you give me your opinions as to what you would do in my position. I've pretty much used all of the money I had to play with and now that I have learned about .00000005% of what there is to know about trading- I see the error of my ways. What do you think? Anyone want to take on a poor orphan for a moment and reply? Should I sell a chunk when it goes up? If so, how much at what price. I want long term but also, I want some money to use a little more wisely to put into other things too. Right now- like a complete imbecile, I have money in about 30 different stocks with the bulk of it being in SKNN.

My other ? --has anyone here heard of zecco.com? If so, what do you think?

I am sorry if this post is too long, doesn't conform to this board or is so uneducated that it is not welcome here.

Maybe there is a better board to post this on?
Is there a board titled "Moronic Newbie Traders About To Sell Services On The Street Corner To Make Up For Impending Losses If They Don't Have Advice SOON"???

Thanks so much for any one that would be so kind as to take a moment to lend your much appreciated opinion.

Feel free to outwardly criticize me or name call at will.... I know, I deserve it since I've broken about every golden rule a trader could have.

Thanks again - Di
