Many moons ago I had a little snafu with a whole lot of optimism on a couple of stocks and my account almost got obliterated. It was at one time 1/5 of it's original value. I held on to the stocks and prayed like mad. The stocks are staging a nice comeback just this past couple of months and good news are flowing from the companies' headquarters . I hope by early to mid 2010 I can cash out and start daytrading so I can begin reeling in some daily profits . I've learned my lessons well this time around and I plan to double my account value in 2010.
