Sam, the problem is the twenty grand is all the funds I had for investment (not counting my 401K). I have 25 shares of one stock left. The rest I had to sell to meet a margin call. And of course because I had to see it I sold near the bottom. It was 15 when I sold then it went down to 13 or 14 before going back to the twenties. At least I didn't lose a large fortune. I was overly agressive with the little I did have trying to turn it in to a small fortune. Hopefully the lessons I've learned will help me earn more in the future but if I am going to apply the lesson I have to get some new capital first.
