Just like in anything in life, from believing in something or someone,  you take a chance on it, you believe in it, you trust in it and sometimes it'll make you or break you.
After a few of the bad setbacks you either get wiser or keep running into the same wall like a crash test  dummy.
In other words,  only give what you can stand to lose.

Not truly understanding penny stocks.
Got hosed. Got wise and Got to studying about buying volatile stocks.  Hindsight is 20/20  but I Digress. 
Still Very Important lesson learned...
Do the DD on Everything and don't fall victim to what people say is a good buy because in the market no one can predict exactly what's going to happen.
Only trust your DD and if it happens to coincide with your  research you maybe on to something. Trust in your self and know when to take profits over greed.
Happy Holidays to my fellow MooMoo's!

so far I'm liking the display and different options for learning about the stock market and trends.
