Admittedly I have 4 shares of this company that I bought at the $3.02 mark. I thought the bottom had hit, but was not quite sure. So for $12.08, the cost of a couple of cheap months of Netflix, I lost $10, as I am selling today, but I learned a valuable lesson. There is much more to the market system that I need to learn, and I am going to start sharing it here. The goal is to show that anyone can really learn this, and that it does not take too much money to get started with this stuff.

When a company declares bankruptcy, small shareholders typically face a high risk of losing their investment, as creditors have priority over shareholders in the distribution of assets.
