Brian,
Re your post 1722, if you do that to yourself, i.e. kicking yourself in the tail every time you make an investment, you won't be able to do anything long term. While I realize that $1000 bucks is a lot of money, please don't look at your trade ie. buying at 2 when you didn't buy at $.68 as foolish. I bought at the (so-far) high of 2 5/8. Do you think for one minute that I am kicking myself? No way.
I am not a day trader. If you decide to, "..kick myself forever over that one.", I suggest that you may be new to investing or shouldn't be buying BB stocks. This is only a thought from a really battle-hardened long time investor. I have made more so-called mistakes over thirty years of investing than I care to think about. However, this has not kept me from learning and learning and then taking action.
I just hope to be right at least one percent more than I am wrong. I can not be right more than 60% of the time. I don't expect to be right more than 51% of the time. I am just not that smart.
I do expect to make money in the long run.
There is a series on CNBC and other network shows about Day Traders (Dreamers). It profiled one who made money and one who went bankrupt doing day trading. I absolutely am going to make horrendous mistakes in the future just like I have in the past. But I am going to continue to learn from prior mistakes. I absolutely have stopped kicking myself for those mistakes. This takes away from my concentration at the job at hand, i.e., to make money long term.
Does this make any sense, Brian, to either you or anyone else on this thread?
