A few things I should and shouldn't have done:
Shoulds:
- Sell half at a time during good times and bad.
- Invested in dividends.
- Set alerts.
Shouldn'ts:
- Leave the portfolio alone even as little as a single day. I missed a big spike on one of my stocks and next thing I knew it was stuck for good below what I paid for it.
- Use a predatory broker. Brutal additional penny stock commissions chewed up any small profits I made as I panic-swapped.
- Taken pie-in-the-sky PR so optimistically. Yeah, you heard me, BRGO & TBEV.
I will say I'm totally thrilled to have gotten out of GBSN when I did, at about $3 a share. After a few ridiculous reverse splits, it's below 2 cents as of this writing.
Is this blog over though? It isn't. I have been fortunate enough to know that a co-worker I've known for years has made over $100,000 in the last year with smart trades, and a friend he has helped has turned $3,000 into $36,000 from August to November. He will be helping me as soon as I have $500 to invest in through a better trading account.
Please stay tuned. I will be blogging about my challenge to raise $428 more, appreciate your readership and intend to get things done right this time around. Thank you!
