I accumulated a large position in a stock below 50 cents. It moved up to about $1.50 area. Then a couple days later shot up to just shy of $8 and then everything went wrong. Trading halted and after a couple weeks it was aloud to trades but at pennies.
I had a net worth of about 1.4 million for about 15 minutes. It is all gone.
I feel very stupid that I did not watch close and sell a few shares. Need a winner to retire and time is running short. I feel fine about it now because I am looking ahead and hopefully I have a winner.
