Ever taken a big punt that has changed your life?

[Rafa]

Prawn, Nizar and Rafa,
I'm confident it will happen for you guys.

Thanks for your kind words MS+Tradesim
And also a heartfelt thanks goes out to Joe and the ASF community... (won't mention any names...)... I have been trading for close to 7 years now, but its only since joining the ASF over 3 years ago now... and learning from all of you here that things have started cranking...

The only big punt I ever took was in 1994 when I'd lost quite a fortune after the 1987 stock market crash. The stock was Endeavor Resources (St Barbara Mines). There was a takeover offer by a guy named Atkins, at 3.5 cents a share and there was a note enclosed telling us not to accept the offer (the reason was, he'd bought a majority stake in the company from the bankrupt Bond who had been jailed).
Bought with open arms, as they say, and the stock nearly hit $3.00 - my life saved.

I slept with a girl in Kenya (punt) and was misdiagnosed with HIV a little while later. It changed my life. Not sure if it was for the better or worse yet.....

Now thats a story Kenna's
Not the girl but the mis diagnosis and the events prior.

That must have had an effect on your Psych.
