at least we're here joking about our mistakes. i feel for the people that made a ton of money earlier this decade in mutuals and then thought they could do better with stocks and lost most of what they had.

i bought a 1000 shares of amzn at 109

I would never buy $100k of any stock in one trade. It's outside of my parameters. I only have two companies that I have a considerable interest in....one's doing outstanding and one is doing not-so-well. All the others are tidbits of this and that, most under $10k worth (well diversified but not a heavy weight portfolio relative to what you just said).

My guess is that most portfolios of the investors at SI are not large at all. But that's not why we're here so I'll get off the topic of "mine is bigger than yours." lol

Tim, When you find a way to forget about your AMZN trade please let me know. I sold some QCOM early this year which wasn't a wise move.
I try to tell myself that I used that money to buy FORE, but even if that was true, QCOM still would have been better.

Have you thought about having exceptions to your rule about not chasing a stock. There does seem to be times when it's the thing to do.
