At least you were sensibly diversified. My shortcoming was focusing my assets in bland blue chip equities, index funds and bonds. Boring stocks with predictable slowly rising dividends.

Remember the early days here when they'd post: "Hartcourt is a Fun Stock to Own?"

For example, from 2003: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=961345

I was kidding of course. By no standard do HRCT (and WAVE) comprise a sensibly diversified portfolio ... especially when both had Going Concern warnings.

As I made my first stab at investing, around age 19, I owned 3 or 4 NYSE stocks, plus bank accounts/CDs (they actually paid something in those days), and -- within a few years -- a small apartment building that was quite a money-maker.
