Not me, but I have parents who are very well off and they invested in cocoa...yes, the chocolate cocoa..like stock in a company...this was in the 90's...they did not get any ROI. I don't know what they were thinking.

A sibling's business "opportunity", and, no, I did not think it was brilliant going in. Total loss.

ATNP, a penny stock who's CEO was convicted of pump and dump schemes. First real entry into investing, went with 13k up to 20k, down to 0 in about 3 months.
I hope that POS Chris Debeau rots in fricking hell.
On another note, I learned a lot.

I lost 50% on a Chinese stock that got hit with fraud charges. I'm still holding it.

I bought a lot of under armor and a little of netflix, both did quite well. Then I decided to sell all my UA and buy more Netflix. Lost 50%+ of the value.
I was gambling and it was a good lesson.

Also Don Lapre's get rich quick program with the magic of "ad placement". I was a freshman in college and did actually learn a little through his exuberant manual (like a parody of itself).

Worldcom. I really didn't make the investment thinking it was good. They bought a company in which I owned stock. ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconwah.gif)
