LOL!! My first one filed Ch 11. I have the certificate hanging on my wall as a reminder that "yes, Virginia, some stocks go to ZERO" Aren't we bears a bunch of losers -VBG- BTW- (I've been following this thread as I went short the stock last week... so this probably means it is going to double this next week -g-... I just think it is a little pricey (well actually, REAL pricey) in here (which I'm sure you agree?). I'd love it down around 5 or 10 for an "investment"

Bill, I think losing early is a must for being a good long term investor. My first stock was Medtronic and it went nowhere but up in 1967. Then I got National Equipment Rental, and it was a big winner as long as I held, though it eventually went belly up. Then, sure of my genius, I bought Ampex at $40 and watched it slip to $16 before I bailed. It eventually went to $3 and I couldn't believe that it could happen. <g> That is when I became a contrarian. MB
