OMG! I THINK I'M GOING TO VOMIT!!!
Permalink  

You old timers remember a few years ago when I was always talking about Revlon stock and how I bought like 8000 shares at a buck a share? 

I hung onto them until mid 2007 and finally gave up on em' and pulled my money out.

Today I checked my account for another stock and saw that Revlon is up to 12.35 a share!!!

My $8000 would be worth $98,800 if I'd held onto it!!!  I could actually throw up right now!!!

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMIT!!!angered.gif

That is pretty harsh, Riggs. Always count on the vanity of the feminine persuasion. no.gif We will spend anything to look younger and prettier. Trust me on this... I just went to the exhorbatently expensive make-up store yesterday... I gots facial scars to cover.

That's the thing, when I saw the stock had tumbled from 30 some bucks to 1 buck I checked into the company and it gave no indication it was going to go bankrupt.

I bought the stock thinking it HAD to go up. But after two years of struggling in the 1.05 to 1.30 range I gave up.

Oh well. At least I know my hunch was right. Maybe I'll stumble on another one some day.

Also a good idea to invest in liquor companies during a recession. People always have money to drink.

Sorry JR. It happens though. Sort of been there and done that kind of thing. Except I never bought the stocks I wanted as I didn't have the money. Kmart and IBM were two stocks I wanted and they exploded. Kmart right after they filed bankruptcy is really what I wanted. They were worth a ton, especially after the merger with Sears. I had a whole list of wants. Most of them would have turned out this way. It is sad, but I guess it is more sad when you actually had money to invest.

Well, I've made myself feel better by realizing what a huge chunk of the money would have been paid in capital gains taxes AND I probably never would have let it get that high before selling.  Once I doubled or tripled my money I'm sure I would have sold.  I doubt I would have waited for it to hit 12 times what I paid.

Still would have been sweet. Even if you sold it at only a $5 profit, it would have been a nice chunk of change to put away. (Still even after a 15% capital gains tax.)
