I can say I have done it several times before. I believe I have finally learned my lesson of not placing all my eggs in one basket. I heavily invested in a technology company in the past that was recommeded by a friend and also my broker told me that it had great potentials as well. I guess the end results after hanging in for 5yrs+ the company shut down because it could not achieve the revenue flow/acceptance from the industry to make their product viable.
I have been invested in CLL for the past three years but also placed some of my funds in Candax Energy,CAX.T (tsx) a conventional small cap oil/exploration company. Both company has great potentials in their field oilsands/conventional. However, CLL is definitely a safer bet vs the two.
