I tried to put $100,000 into fnma back when it was 0.25 pps in summer 2012. I couldn't gather the cash though, i was only 24 at the time. I remember how it went up to 5.45 in Spring 2013, then tanked to approx. 1.08 by August of that same year. Then it spiked to 6.35 in the Spring of 2014. Can you imagine if i had bought $100,000 worth of stock at 0.25, sold at 5.00, then bought again at 1.08, then sold at 5.00 again or at 6.00 :(
