Douglas- 100 shares? Me too. Cost me $900, though.

And, I used to have 20 times that. I was very foolish. My ego got in the way of investing smart; I fell in love with a stock, and could not admit to being wrong. So I had 25% of my liquid portfolio in one stock.

It tanked. I got murdered, and just barely hung on to 1000 shares, and then started selling all the way up. Maybe I'll never sell these 100 shares- because you just never know what will happen, and I've made a decent (!indecent?) profit, and learned a valuable lesson. Diversify!

Well, good luck- I think this is a good risk, but I also think markets will favor the big players for a while yet, unless a little player can show some solid stuff. Potential isn't worth what it used to be. But then... maybe it's our time to show some stuff.
