Thats better than selling for $23. You have to start somewhere. I call it a win. Nice work. :thumbup:

exactly right

think in percentages - not just dollars

That's a very good start in my opinion.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

Please note that ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- sometimes substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) as well.

I've been coin'in and deal'n for a while and still take losses.

Savor the wins. When you first posted and saw your dollar, I though you were going to get hurt.

Not that it's a bad coin but that you paid just right.

Good job! :thumbup:
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

No shipping costs? No ebay fees? No paypal fees? Cash?

You did great!

Fees will eat you up. I wish I was in a coin club with monthly auctions!
