Much more my speed....

1. You said Face Plant was gambling

2. You did not recommend it.

3. You got it at a Deal that most people could not get.

So no worries there..

It is the "crowd" or frenzy buyer that got hammered, as they should have..

Today is a great day on what I have going, but one day does not make Investing..

So it should be Interesting the next several months, that is for sure...

A lot of people that do face book were asking me, why wasn't I buying any of it..When I asked them why, they did not have any answer other than a lot of people use face book...I said, a lot of people eat Mc Donalds, and buy Gasoline, and Smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol...Now that I understand...
