The biggest mistake in my short 4 month investing adventure was buying stocks from SCT at $0.34. I'm down 41%, which is just ridiculous.

And I will admit, to the amusement of all the readers, that the reason why I bought it was: I got this email from Hot Copper hyping up the company only to realize, seconds after I pressed "BUY", that it was a paid advertisement FROM SCT through Hot Copper, website which I had just signed up to.

Expensive lesson to learn. It's been steep downhill since then.

Yes, I was dumb.
