I made a few $'s in the past but not online. I have a bad habit of spending the profits though rather than reinvesting
As with Hyper I used to wait for a bit of bad news (not so bad as to close the company) and buy while all the lemmings were getting scared. If you can then wait a few months they tend to go back up again
Obviously it's gotta be the right company though. Hmmm....maybe I'll have another bash soon as it's kinda fun.
