I am sitting on a few hundered thousand shares that used to be worth a few bucks. Not anymore though. But still alive. I was an angel investor - fun while it lasted. Now just a paper shuffle.
Oh well, its only money... ![]() PS. Adult industry is a lot more fun!

Yeah I was raped.
The stocks of the companies that still exist are way down for me.... even after a great runup the past year, I am down about 25% from even. ( I am not even going to talk about from the high! ) Anyone have a good 401k program? I need a job! |

lost many, "won" a few.
I would always play big on call/put option contracts.... it's more like gambling than investing when you do it that way ![]() In the stock market, a few good winners can make up for a lot of losses though. |

Invested quite a bit (relatively speaking) of my income into a dotbomb that I thought was going to make it...
Now the shares are still locked to this day, can't be traded because the company is undergoing criminal investigation. ![]() |

yup..i use to be a trader...made money..lost money..if I learned one thing it's that you don't over leverage yourself and you must divesify your portfolio.

My worst single tech stock was a real loser. I had 100,000 shares. It peaked at $18. I knew the CEO and he literally begged all the major shareholders to hold on so the stock wouldn't dive.
While we were all holding on he unloaded millions of shares. Last I checked it was at $0.001 cents. So that one went from $1.8 Million to $100. ![]() ![]() ![]()

From what I heard he was still able to get out about $20 Mil as the stock dove and everyone else was hangin on, believing his bullshit about a major acquisition of the company that turned out to be all bullshit.

That's a tough one to swallow. He made some other investments though that turned out ok and still has about $6 Mil net worth. But going from $100 Mil to under $10 Mil is indeed harsh on the ego and the wallet.

What's even worse is I know a few guys that 'financed' the capital gains they owed the IRS (some owed more in taxes than they made in salary).
I know one guy still paying, his stock capped in 7 figures then quickly died out and he could not unload it fast enough, that sucks. The capital gains are sort of unlimited. The capital loss is limited to the cash basis...in his case was like $0 since all were 'gifts'. He would have been in better shape financially if he turned down these gifts. Å |

the only stock i own is in some mutual funds - there was some tech stock holdings in them but nothing serious and it was such a small percentage it didn't really matter.

I moved into bonds before the big run down and made pretty good money. Still own a lot of those bonds but over the past year have moved back into stocks but that probably wont last much longer. If your just now thinking about getting back in your probably to late.
Just an opinion. |
