<<<it recently soared through $3, some eight years after I'd sold it in wracking, sackcloth-rending despair >> THomas, you must learn to buy and hold!!! If you are just going to churn your stocks after a few years, you will always be overcome with regret when they finally pop for that huge .75 gain. When Mother died, she left me a penny stock. It was so weird, stuck in with her utilities and Fannie Maes and conservative bonds... I asked the broker what ever she'd been thinking. He said she called one day , had seen a commercial on TV for this stock, and wanted to buy it. It promptly sank but she held it, convinced that someday it would make her rich. APparently it was some oil related company? of T Boone Pickens. I sold it immediately--I wonder--- no no--never look back.
