I gained about 33% from the stock market so far. A month ago my portfolio had gained over 100%, mostly from trading a penny stock.It seemed appealing to me because it is about alternative energy. I got in early (last year) when there was no one desiring it. This year it took off, but soon became a speculator’s pet. In the past month I got unlucky. In 3 days that stock lost 40% of its value and I was knocked out. Today it has been up 30% again from my exit point. It’s crazy. I think I am not good for this game and don’t have appetite for this stock any more.
