It's been fun watching oil stocks bounce all over. I've got two names that have jumped 50 and 70% recently. Wish I could say I'm rolling in the dough. All they did was go from $1 to $1.70 Still, a gains a gain.


It's a HUGE gain -- and just think if you had 50 or 100 grand in them!! Then it really isn't small potatoes at all!!!


And yes -- Investing - in anything - should be all about the PERCENTAGE of gain. 5% is 5% and 70% is -- 70% !! Regardless if it's measured in pennies or 1,000 dollar bills.
