      Clearly you aren’t doing it right. Me buying shares is a death knell for companies. I’d be surprised if my broker doesn’t give companies a courtesy call when I’ve bought a few shares to let 'em know the company’s about to go under.

        At the very least, me buying shares in a company makes certain it will never rise any higher than at that share price, not until right after I’ve sold my shares.

            I made quite a bit of money back in the day on Apple. Bought their shares dirt cheap, and watch them come back from the brink of irrelevance.

            … Then they said they were making a phone. “That’s never gonna work”, I said to myself, and sold it all.

            At least I made a nice profit, right?
