That's quite a list, but not much for a couple of years, especially if you're still cutting your teeth. Of those, one pops out at me. GWGO You say you did well with that one and I have done well also with it. However, they made lots of promises about dividends and their R/S has not gone very well toward "shareholder value". If you were following it all along, you would see the pattern. There are times when stocks like that make everyone happy and excited. Then people get a little grumpy. Before you know it, the vast majority are very upset and vent most of the time. If you're one of those people and someone (and there is always at least one) is still enthused and excited, you feel as though you need to either help them understand or beat them with a stick. Honestly, I think many people wonder how you could be as enthused about this stock still as you are. Maybe you understand it, but just look at it objectively and you would be more upset. Maybe you don't like to be upset about investments. None of us do. But sometimes, it's just facing reality. As a perfect example, the case of our company's "transfer agent". You say you are ok with it, but you should be at least curious about the dubious connection, if not suspicious. If you have serious doubts it's ok to voice them. If you don't have SERIOUS doubts, I think people just want to understand how that's possible. By the way, the trading pattern of SWVC is very similar to some of the best/worst stocks to play. You can either make a nice profit or lost your shirt.
