So I went to this training session for ESL teachers at the place where I volunteer. The first thing the lady who was teaching the workshop said (keep in mind, this is for teaching people how to speak English) was, "One of the most important things in teaching students is repetition," and proceeded to write 'repitition' on the board.

I turned down the chance to spend my high school graduation money on stock in EA industries, and missed about a $25 spike when all was said and done. I got the tip from a customer service rep with one of those tiger direct kind of companies that I used to call when I bought parts.
I also turned down a chance to buy a lot of stock in EB games in college right before the gamestop merger because I was saving it up for a new car. I could have sunk three grand or so into the stock when it was $20 a share. Two weeks after I turned down the chance the merger happened and EB stock went up to around $35 a share, I think it peaked at $43.... Now I'm using this years tax refund to invest in the "get my ass out of debt foundation"....
The moral: When some stranger tells you to spend $2000 or more on a stock, just do it... (okay, maybe not...)

Investing a bunch of money in one stock on a "hot tip" is something you do when you can afford to lose all of the money you've invested. Everyone who says "oh, man, I knew I should've invested in Nintendo before the Wii came out" forgets that sometimes, even Nintendo fucks up, and that's a really good way to get fucked.

I know, but as a young man with money to burn it pissed me off, because that money went towards absolutely nothing afterwards.

You should really invest in Visiblehowl Needs A New Computer Inc.
Maybe George Lucas needs someone to masturbate furiously over his overwrought scripts
Personally I recommend Help Gooey Buy a House, LLC.
I have a hot tip that VH's Rent Ltd. is going to skyrocket soon.
