[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend recommended I buy Nvidia stock about 18 months ago and I never did. Feeling sad and bad that I didnt listen. If I was doubtful, I could have just put in a small amount, but no. 
I’m doing ok financially but it would have been nice!!!

Any other financial regrets to share? [/quote]

in 2004 I bought 2k shares of a company ticker TPL.    It was a really boring company that owned land in texas (the old texas railroad stock).

It just sold a part of it's land regularly and then used the money to buy back stock.  the idea was the last remaining shareholder would get all the remaining land.
It was mostly grazing land and some nice El Paso land.

anyway, i bought this for around $100k.  it went up like 75% in a year and i thought i was a hero.  one of my first investments.  I sold it.

stopped following it.  it turned out that the land they owned was where the Permian Basin oil was -  the stock has gone up 500x since then.

$50MM in value today.   unbelievable.   I challenge anyone to find a non tech situation that was similar that wasn't a bankruptcy name or anything like that![/quote]
