Naw, no worries! But, you're right, I can read something that someone wrote on a message board, someone who for whatever reason I've decided to believe is credible, and occasionally, I act on what they've said. I've lost this way as often as I've won, well, maybe I've lost a little more.
I guess my biggest problem is that, once I get into a stock, for whatever reason, I don't set stops. I used to and inevitably my stock would spike low, trip my stop, my shares would be gone, and then fly back up. Man, that used to make me feel like a fool!
Since then, though, I've gone for some sad rides downward, smokin' the hopium all the way. Ugh.
