Hey Dawg, here's something to cheer you up.

The first guy at work (yes, I too have a day job) to open up an online account did so about 3 years ago. He wasn't sure what to do, so he thought he'd invest 75% of his money in a particular stock.

Being a newbie, he screwed up and ordered the stock twice, putting him at the limit of a margin call. He didn't notice his error for 2 weeks.

His punishment? He had bought (a lot of) DELL at the equivalent of 1.50 a share and never looked back.

Luck counts. Hope the story didn't make you even more depressed.
