Years ago I rode 100k shares of CTGI from .04 to $2.37 without selling a share. That company is now bankrupt. Never again!
6 million sounds fantastic, but the actual math comes out more like $237,000. I eventually sold at .12 before BK for a 3 bagger, but left better than 200k on the table.
What happened was 50% greed mixed with 50% utter stupidity. That was 11 years ago.
