Gee, I love cut-and-paste... I was tempted to pick up some of those cheap MYNG shares, but had no investment bucks at the time-and I mean NO investment bucks. Now I have some and will put a few into more shares. Not many more. Maybe 600 or so 'cause that will make the total a nice round number. I am only investing an amount that I can afford to lose and still sleep at night. I suggest (from hard-earned experience) that newbies to MYNG keep that rule of thumb in mind. Don't get greedy. Remember, pigs get slaughtered. DON'T USE UP ALL YOUR 'DRY POWDER'! Murphy's Law will bite you in the butt and you will either have to sell (possibly at a loss) some stock you already have and want to keep or simply watch as the new stock goes to the moon without 'ya. I have also learned the hard way that if you miss this train, there will always be another coming down the tracks. All these new internet data resources make it a helluva lot easier to do your DD. They practically spoon-feed it to 'ya if you are willing to literally lift a finger. Don't beat yourself up over a lost opportunity, just resolve to be more diligent next time. One last thing and I'll shut up. I read somewhere that investment-wise, if you feel uncomfortable about a certain course of action, that is probably the right one to take. Been there. Done that. My two cents. Jed
