This sucks. I was going to buy some AIG the other day was it was at 2
It went to 5 a few days later. It was only $400 worth , but it would have been $1000 practically overnight.

| A lot of us got suckered into selling the day of the Lehman Bro's thing. I bought POSCO at 418,000 Won a share two days before the shit hit the fan, when the shit did eventually hit the fan, I pushed the panic button and sold at 414,000. Then two days later after the bailout plan was announced, the stock was over 450,000. Tough break. |

| I'd like to know too. Also, Asian stocks in general. I wished my bank at home would offer the ability to buy stocks in Asia. |

You can buy ADR's ( American Depository Receipts) of many asian companies.
I own LG Display. It represents the stock in Korea, but you buy it in the US.
Posco, KB Bank and several others are available. I know there are some Thai, Taiwanese and of course Japanese ADR's available to purchase.
Just contact your broker. |

Couldn't agree more with Mises. If you're holding for days at a time, it's not investing. If you're going to pick stocks you need to make it a fulltime job.
And those books should be required reading in highschool. |
