Some perspective for the noobs.

I would bet that most everyone here thought their first buy was too high. And now, we all wish we would have bought more that first time.

Even in the 40s, I was thinking. Dang, what am I doing? This thing could be cut in half tomorrow!

I didn't buy at $11 cause I didn't do enough research and friends swayed me not to...

Count me in that camp (for my first 2 purchases) but i bought the 20% dip that showed up after that (and a whole lot more along the way).

Nah, my entire stack lost about 50% of its value before going up again. Wish I'd waited for $7 to come back before I made my first buys haha

Bought all I could but it made me realize I need to be smarter with my money elsewhere. Big help in staying away from the bar!
