Wife" If you win, thats what you are supposed to do. No praise.
Lose and you are a jerk, sleep on the couch. You are a jerk, you are in a no win position!!

tikitu2, I agree that stocks are a gamble, but with the right research, they can do very well. If you weren't in on this one at 2-4 cents, you're going to lose. Get out while your wife is still talking to you.

Rule number 1 to investing. Only tell people about the winners!

Do not mention them until your profit.


Rule number two. Do not buy at the high.


Rule number 3. Cash is kind so sit with it until right moment to invest.

Rule 4. take profits and forget thet you were ever invested. You can revisit, but once profits are locked, Do not regret if it continues up.


there are probably more rules

All stocks are a gamble. If you come in for a short-term win, you may be disappointed. I've been in CLYW since 2003. In this stock's case, there is a moderate amount of risk against a chance of huge gains. Come December 23, we'll see if anyone on this board had a clue. CLYW will either give me a very comfortable retirement or simply be another loss to claim on my taxes if I chose to sell. In my case I have several brokers highly recommend staying in. That's a big factor. But as I've said before, checkinmg a stock price every few hours is like taking your blood pressure every few hours. It does no good and just makes your BP go up.
