One factor I keep having to remind myself.. is that being a "newbie" (will always be...it's not a BAD thing!)to stock investing is the fact that THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT JUST STARTED! I have to temper my enthusiasm for the current "Hot Stock" by taking a step back from the computer and saying, "What am I getting into this one FOR?" If I don't know (lack of DD) then I am guilty of being a greedy sheep.... This world of penny stocks has been around for awhile, and just because I am not prepared to invest with CASH (Hey, I can "BBaaaa" all I want, paper trading!), I shouldn't be diving in!....So I miss GNNX, or something similar, no big deal.... The important thing to know for myself, and if I may speak for other inexperienced investors, is that THERE WILL BE OTHERS! If I can make a little while I hone my DD skills, GREAT! But I do believe that if my DD learning curve is AHEAD of my stock purchasing, then my investing is more accurate, and the payoffs, more certain! It will also allow me to start FINDING them! Just a little self "Reality Check". I am into pennies FOR LIFE! The potential upside to these babies is NOT to be found in the other markets IMO. Havin' more fun than a plastic surgeon in a leper colony! -LIPS-
