I've had fun with this thread... investing is a passion of mine that is right up there with hot rodding.


Laughing about the Nike buy. Back in the day -- I bought (was allowed to buy) 1000 shares in the IPO of Starbucks.... it went public at $14 -- on a Thursday or a Friday... I flipped it out up .50 on Monday and thought I'd cut a fat hog in the azz... 'cause I'd made a whopping $500 in one or two days.


It has gone up 6392% --- but I made $500


That's a ONE POINT THREE MILLION DOLLAR loss.....
