Bought some shares...
...in the company I worked for. They went up in price by 10x.

Then I listened to the CEO, who said, basically "This is just the start, lads. Hold on, or you'll miss out."

Why settle for clearing my mortgage when I could be a millionaire? thought I, naive and bright as a new-pressed daisy.

Then the dot com bubble burst.

Sold them on the way down for what I paid for them, before they then tanked another 95%. So I guess it could have been worse.

Annoying that we could be putting the wee ones through private school with as much caviar and hats as they can eat, if only I hadn't listened to the smarmy so-and-so. Ah well...

shares
I bought some shares in Leeds Utd after they plummeted and began to climb. Never got a penny back. Tried the same trick with Northern Rock. Lesson learned.

the time to sell....
...is when people say they'll never go down.
