It was my first time buying stock. Had just gotten married and didn't have a lot of money. My wife and I decided to invest some of our wedding money. Only about $2,000. We picked four stocks based on an article she read in the Sunday paper. Priceline was one. The others were tech stocks or something along those lines. I remember Sun Microsystems. Can't remember the other two. Those three all went in the tank pretty quickly so we decided to sell our 100 shares of Priceline to recoup what we could. We weren't into losing money at that point and pulled the plug quickly.
Could've been a great beginners luck story. Instead it's a great "one that got away" story.
