Hi KLP. Hope you're well tonight.

Unlike some out there, I'm not ashamed to admit my foray into the scams of the penny stock world. Just a look at my profile under "Investment Experience" shows that!

The biggest things I hated with the penny stock scam companies was being lied to. You ask a company when it's reporting financials...well, their definition of "financials" might not be the same as the SEC definition. And that's usually just the beginning.

Anyway, I've made MUCH more money since leaving these things behind...and best of all, I've been able to sleep at night knowing my entire portfolio won't disappear overnight.

I'm sure most online investors have been through it.

-Joe

Hi K, that is a gorgeous picture! It calmed me. Thank you.

I have paid my dues in penny stocks too. Most are too depressing to talk about. Thank goodness I try to do better now.

I am tired too. I spent most of this week in the hospital. I was checked in on Monday and got out yesterday. They thought it was pneumonia, but finally called it asthmatic bronchitis. Whatever, I have a new appreciation for "breathing." <g>

I sure did miss SI. I really must get a laptop.
