gary, how true... if i knew hindsight ahead of time. some people get rich playing the lottery. does that mean i should? it is still a tax on those that are math deficient - even though i know someone is going home with millions. the methodology is bankrupt over time. the avg amzn investor will have been torched before this is over - even though they are up now. most won't keep it. i've tripled my entire account balance in a few months... only to lose it b/c buying penny stocks is a bankrupt methodology over time. man, did i feel good when i tripled my account in a few months! pompous as hell. been there, done that. i'm not saying you can't trade amzn successfully. however, playing only the long side and not monitoring one's position at ALL times is longer term suicide. this is a game now. real fun. money is rollin' this game will end and most won't make it out with much to speak of, if anything. some will make it through the entire cycle and be very wealthy - never to gamble in this manner again. then again, people win the lottery, too. jmho...
