Well, haha... I bought my shares when I was a noob and didn't know much about all the other possibilities in the markets. I saw the big ups in the OTC markets, was lured by them and then jumped in. Bad idea.
As I went through the 80:1 reverse split, my shares were worth next to nothing so I just forgot about them until I saw something moving last year and then I knew there was something coming because of the unusual trading.
I'm now about even with my current PPS and I sure can wait a little more to see what C. Winter is up to this time.
But all in all, it's something I have noticed in all the markets and remind myself about regularly:
"The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient." -- Warren Buffett
However, I'm not ever buying this kind of stock again. It's the last one I have and after it, I'll be done.
Nothing I write is financial advice. Trade at your own risk.
