Remember folks, only buy what you can afford to lose. It helps to trade along the way to make your initial money back, and this way, you are not prone to losing your hard earned money. Don’t leave all your money on the table (if you gamble, you know this generally does not work out too well). If you are modest and comfortable with your profits, take them! Don’t marry a stock in penny land. Even if a stock is backed by sound business fundamental, there are too many variables and unknowns. Manipulators can wreak havoc with even the best of stocks, and often leave you holding the bag while they walk away with your money.
