Introduction Compact

Several weeks ago I decided to change
strategies...except I didn't have guts
enough to do it for real. So now I have
two accounts, one full of inexpensive
but risky microcap biotech stocks, to
which I have become fairly attached
(this delusion is called investing, it
makes you feel better when the stocks
don't appreciate). The other account
was converted to cash, and now just gets
one stock at a time.

I invite others who might want to do the
same thing, but like me, are not up to the
risk that one-stock trades entail.
