This is hilarious. After learning how to do daytrading a few years ago (meaning, getting taken to school for about $4,000 in ‘tuition’), the only remnant I had was a couple of almost worthless stocks. One was Quepasa.com (QPSA). Remember when it came out, backed by local celebrities (including Jerry Colangelo), and quickly shot up to $25 per share? If you do, then you might also remember when it nosedived like nothing this side of an eagle after his prey.

Imagine my laugh, then, when Eve suggested that I look at my Ameritrade account, just for fun. Well, to no surprise, my 3,500 shares of Etravelserve.com Inc (TSER), is still valued at $0.0001, for a total value of 35 cents. They were delisted a long time ago. However, good old QPSA, of which I bought 65 shares at 25 cents a share, closed trading yesterday at $5.39. Wow, that is a jump from a $16.25 purchase to a $350.35 value.

Louis Rukeyser may have been right about there being three animals in the stock market: bulls, bears, and pigs led to slaughter. After spending most of my time in that third category, I’m happy to finally have some personal good news from Wall Street. Now I am going to see where else I can get a 2156-fold increase in investment. Isn’t that more than 200,000 percent?
