Missed the boat (stock) - Dallas Dance Music - Dallas nightlife, music, tickets, and more

I'm kicking myself right now. A few months ago I was talking to a buddy of mine from college who's know working for a pharmaceutical company in Austin. He mentioned they're based in Canada but would be moving to the US sometime soon. So I checked on the stock which was at about 85 cents at the time. I didn't have any money to invest whatsoever, and just kept an eye on it for a while. Anyway I got caught up keeping an eye on other stocks, and never put any money into the company when I did buy my first stocks.

Long story short, the IPO in the US was last month and is now around $6. I could have had 500% turnaround within a few months time easy.

Try watching Google go from $20 to $100 to $400 to whatever insane price it is at now.

Yea that sucks too.. especially when I said to myself $400 no way that stock is going any higher than that! Now it's at like $650 or something near that, thought it hit 740 a week or so ago.
