Wow bob. Sounds like a radical change to your Laws of investing that are:
LAW 1 - Find a shady insider who tells you to invest in a penny dreadful.
LAW 2 - Watch your investment pop 500% in 2 months and NOT get out.
LAW 3 - Keep befriending the little voices in your head telling you to hang in there for the 9,923,765,87986876876,hjftdytfhgdw3278687,jhge7623r84 returns
LAW 4 - When realising you threw away 500% gains in 2 months, post 374 negative posts and counting in Hot Copper hoping this will change everything to get your $500 back.
LAW 5 - Have pretend drinks with your imaginary friends.
Who knows, with a bit of luck and your new approach people may start to take you seriously and think you're a winner
