Greg: Having a formal education is good as long as it doesn't go into our heads. Anyhow, I considered that subject boring and irrelevant nor a prerequisite to accummulating enourmous wealth. As have been proven by many time and again, who have crossed that threshold. That by simply staying focused, goal oriented and good mannered ordinary people such as Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Steve Jobs, Michael Dell as well as others can become extra-ordinary people as well. Titans whose corporations now dominate the NASDAQ exchange. All of them now possessing wealth beyond hundreds of millions to billion dollar mark, while the whole world watched them do it with skepticism.
Honestly, after having reasonable exposure in the stock market, I still considered myself a student of investing and it will remain that way for a number of years. So, please don't expect any significant contribution from me for a long while.
As far as my AIPN is concerned, I must admit to getting involved in it as a pure speculative play. But, who doesn't??? I did research the company earlier and concluded that the potential definitely outweighs the risks, so I bought the stock. As the stock moved above 6, I sold some, but retained a large portion of it still. I don't know if you have given some thought to this, but even if the stock stays at this level, it could probably go down as one of the the best investment play of 1997 in percentage terms.
But, something tells me that the stock is far from its true potential. It's going a lot higher before the year is over. And maybe, just maybe, it could happen sooner. Good luck to all!!! sycamore |
