Introduction Compact

Sometimes you just have to unload to someone. Confess that you bought that stinker OR admit that you averaged down when you shouldn't have. It was a special situation. It was soooooo oversold. That company has to be worth at least X -- I mean ...

fill in the blanks

This is a safe place to confess what you bought.

You can even list some of the lame reasons that you told yourself when you bought it.

I'll get things rolling -- I just bought some DROOY.

What's my excuse --

* someone smart says it's a value
* want to get even -- make some money back
* it looks like it might be an exhaustion bottom
* it called to me in my sleep "just buy a little, a little won't hurt ..."
* statistically speaking it has to go up sometime, right??
