Great post i8email. I'm one of those who are holding out for at least $1.00. I don't even bother with the lotto anymore. If you pick the right stock I think your odds are better. Besides, if you won the lotto you would have every Tom, Dick and Harry after you due to the publicity. Investing in stocks is way more fun - but no risks, no rewards. As long as you spend the money in your head first and don't whine about your losses, it's all good. I don't have a lot of experience yet but this is my attitude. It scares my brother to death as he is very conservative and keeps trying to get me to sell the stocks that are up over 50%. I listened to people in the beginning and did sell certain stocks when I didn't really want to and sure enough they went up considerably. I'm not listening to anyone now - just my gut when I want to sell.

Regards and good luck,
