Achieving a 1000% gain with so many stocks makes you an investing/speculating genius in my mind. Congratulations!
Coming from such a sophisticated an investor as yourself, this is an honor. An if it wasn't for your astute analysis of SEBL, I couldn't claim such an exalted number
for this year.
However, one should never confuse genius with a bull market, especially one of such tremendous power as this.
I'll tell you, 2 years ago, mired in a morass of penny stocks (which 2 years further back had rewarded me with +200% gains) I wasn't looking nearly so pretty!
Steadily buying Q all through '98 accounts for the largest
gains (although on a percentage basis, buying LWIN @ 4 7/8
was quite the stroke of luck). But mostly everything after
that is firmly informed by this thread, for which I'm humbly grateful.
Thank you all, especially for the discipline implicit in your posts, something sorely needed by a fool with stars in his eyes half the time who simply must buy or sell the latest craze (I think it's partly chemical), only to wake the next day with buyers/sellers remorse (did I mention I bot CTXS @ 98 5/8 on 11/18? I'll hold it too, mostly because of what I learned here, rather than sell it in a panicked frenzy when it preceded to plunge to what, 78?)
Thanks again. |
