It's tough rehashing old errors, but it can be rewarding too. That's coming from a guy who would rather not think of the mistakes. One good thing about making mistakes in investing is often that we're working with less capital when the novice mistakes occur. Two of my early mistakes were falling for an internet investing board pump and dump penny stock and falling for the Bre-X hype. I actually bought after the recently acquitted Felderhoff said he wouldn't be surprised if the deposit was twice as big as it was then estimated. That was shortly before the big "jump" from the helicopter by the other geologist, De Guzman, who's probably still alive somewhere. Appreciate your honesty and candor.
