paulDC--your post has an important "RUB" to it
the RUB has to do with MAKING MONEY and why so many pennies are the "game of choice/chance" used by MM's and savvy swing traders, all very legally, within today PENNY standards, and/or regulatory capabilities
if you had sold around the high and gained $150K +, you would have been
1.HAPPIER
2. probably a big buyer after the March drop,(because this BioH has potential right??? hmmm)
3. ABLE TO UNDERSTAND and reap the "reward through revelation" that you/WE allow ourselves to be manipulated by the PINKY standards(which are far reduced from mainstream corps and MOST investors in pennyland cant make the distinction that PENNYS dont play a LEVEL game, that is why they are PENNYS)
WHY DID YOU, ME, and so many others stay through the cycle, realizing zero to little gains????
BIG MONEY WAS MADE BY 100's of people trading XMDC, only 1 or 2 on this board though
ANSWER Because we get captivated by STORIES -- the "rags to riches" and "self made CEO's starting Americas next ingenius, soul saving device" STORIES, THAT, keep, OUR TYPE, pushing the dollars at the IMAGE and not minding the TRADING GAME to make money, we'd rather have a success story wrapped around "a rags to riches" story than a success story wrapped around a set of unemotional, boring(but lucrative) TRADES
I have to train myself EVERY SINGLE stock that I go into, TO stay away from the STORY and focus on the MONEY OPPORTUNITY, because the HARD EARNED dollars* I invest JUST DOESNT know* when to get out so I can walk away with MORE
The only way out of these investing pitfalls is to RELEASE the STORY and MAKE the MONEY, I'm here on iHub to learn
Thanks for your post, it inspires
