was strongly considering buying facebook a few years back when it was at like $22/share. the next day it jumped 8% or something and i wanted to hold off for a dip.... obviously that dip never came

bought EGRX a few years back at $13/share. held it and watched it drop a little and finally make back to $14 after a year of holding it. dumped it immediately. it was at $105 within a few months.

I really wanted to buy some AIG in 2008 when it was $.25-.50. It's currently around $67.

SIRI (Sirius XM) $.48 back in 2008, now over $4.50 per share.

It was actually as low as around $0.04. I had a friend talk me out of buying $1,000 worth. They were about bankrupt and eventually received a huge loan.

It was Sirius for me too. I remember I saw it at .05 on Yahoo Finance one day and I just couldn't believe a company that I and so many friends used cost a nickel a share. Didn't buy and next thing you know it was a quarter. Figured I missed it and then it kept going up. Wish I would have put a few grand there but it's just hard to dump thousands into a "penny stock". At least for me it is.

Bought EA a few years back for $14. Sold at a shade under $18. It's at $79 now.
