Sometimes I'll post about stocks I'm buying and get no comment or a negative comment about the stocks' value/prospects. Sometimes after a respectable period these stocks perform okay or well, and I get the urge to post again to so "inform" the thread/poster(s) --- a kind of "see I told you and ya wouldn't listen" post -g-. I'm brought to a stop every time though if I remember this: investing isn't what you didn't buy: it's all about what you did buy. (And how much you bought.) I miss stocks all over the place (fail to buy a stock that subsequently does well). PFHO being one. I relooked now, and I stick with my past and current opinion -- the stock's not for me. Congrats to those who bought and those who bought and held for the 10x. I've no regrets about my decision. =========== Surprising to me, in the past year or so, I've somewhat shifted my answer to the question I've posed here before -- "what is your biggest regret regarding stocks/investing?" -- which was, for me, failure to purchase a stock that I looked at (or knew about but didn't look at) and which subsequently performed very well. I seem to regret more now my failing to purchase more than a token $$ amount of stocks I find attractive (i.e lack of confidence and fear of loss).
