I'll nominate myself, and my co-workers. I'm just thankful I didn't have too much money in the bank to lose. A broker tells a co-worker to invest in SALV. Says it will go from $1 to $5 in 1 1/2 months. We figured what the hell. Its the first tip this broker has given him and they are best friends from High school. A bunch of us invest. It was my first stock investment. Should have realized investing in spit wasn't a great idea.
