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.....

I've only got 50 shares of Nike now..........just because. Have any SB's
Speaking of passion, that '62 has serious potential, I'm looking forward to living vicariously through that build thread. A friend picked up a black '62 409 SS in the 80's and my first impression of that car is etched in my mind.
