i lost 9k on my first stock ever. PGIE oil company scam. I was bag holding and got out on a big billion dollar oil contract in Africa. "AFRICA"...lol.
went from like .001 to nearly .01. the company also announced a "special dividend" for shareholders.
got back in next day because i was drunk on kool-aid (weren't we all?). then got dumped on and held till .0001 before selling.
i still have those worthless dividends in my Etrade account because they are restricted and impossible to wipe. it reminds me of how stupid i was 12 years ago.
