Well said. We have all had those shares we have been burnt on. Like you say it teaches you when it comes to stocks like mad that aren't cashflow positive it's not advise able to hold long term. Always take profits on the way up, and sell as it goes down. I'm not buying mad until the company has satisfied my guidelines. If I want to bet on management doing what i want, I may as well go to the tab, got more chance of picking a winner.
