I thought this would be an interesting question to pose- What is something gullible that you did? This may be something you did as an impressionable kid or even more recently. I'll start. When I was a young boy I had a Barber dime Whitman album. I remember the 1894-S was covered up and said something like "Rare- Only 24 Minted." My younger brother and I started talking and we were saying "What if some eccentric old millionaire actually put an 1894-S in there. We will never know if we don't remove the cover-piece." And of course we removed it and found nothing!

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.
