- As has been said many times, you'd better off playing with something
- you DO understand. Let me tell you a little story:
-
- A friend of my got a tip and played Wang B since it was cycling between
- $2+ and $5+. Earlier this year, some bozo on the street recommended the
- stock and it rocketed much higher. Later as things turned out, it dropped
- to $1.5 when my friend seized the FANTASTIC opportunity. It was an
- opportunity all right, it just ain't fantastic.
-
- Now, you can play the same trick with Wang B now for between $.5 and $.4-.
- Guess if my friend got the money to play alone?
-
- If you master a great self control, you can consider, but normal peolpe
- don't. You just have to think hard before you plunged you hard earned
- money to something might goes to nil.
