I was in the pennies when the pot stocks hit. I had one I sold for 50k one day and was forever condemned after that.
I felt like I hit the jackpot, but it turned out to be just another scam. The taxes really suck, I don't know how day traders make it.
All I remember now is looking back and feeling bad for all the other people I might have got into those POS stocks on my words from a message board.
I tried to warn others in new ones for a bit, but that didn't work either.
my only message to you is to sell now, now, now, now.
I had an iLube friend that was up 200k in a stock that he held, he refused to sell and the thing went to shit, then he blamed me for being a shorty or whatever the fuck they call it now.
I didn't care, had no interest but just wanted him to cash in. It's like taking your chips to a casino window and getting the fuck out of there.
I will never forget the night that my ex and I took our Moms to the casino for their birthdays which happened to be a week apart. We all got 200 a piece and went on our way.
I was kicking ass at the blackjack table while they were losing their ass on the slots. As soon as I stopped giving them more money to play, they gave up. My mom, who wasn't sure what I was up to, sat next to me at the table and was begging for me to leave.
As I was betting 200 a hand, she kept stomping on my foot and kicking my leg under the table. I got the hint and cashed out still with 2 grand. We all went to breakfast and laughed and sang happy birthday..
I think I bought some lawn furniture with those proceeds, but I honestly don't remember. It was my ex who pointed out later that they burned through another 3 grand that I gave them.
It was an epic night, but also a learning experience. The 'don't look a gift horse in the mouth" kinda thing.
Be smart with those gains crossball. and never ever trust an OTC stock.
