stakes84 - If it makes you feel any better (which it probably won't) I thought the same thing. It's all about risk and how much a person is prepare to take etc. And I am learning very quickly that "he who hesitates is lost".
BUT - it's also important to point out that sometimes "he who hesitates wins" - I think the key is to be patient, watch and learn, bide your time. For example, I have been monitoring a few stocks for the past month. Some have done really well, others have not. If I'd put money into all of them I would have some wins and some losses, so the whole thing would more or less balance out anyway.
Sorry, rambling a bit - what I'm saying is - there will always be another FMJ or another EGO. You miss one, maybe next time you jump onboard at the right time. The biggest danger (I have learned, just see my posts on EGO) is that the WORST thing you can do is jump on after the stock has made most of it's short term upward movement. Definitely a HUGE lesson for me.
