We are going back to 2010 I was playing with companies such as
Desire Petroleum
Rockhopper
Encore Oil
Premier Oil
All high risk.
Ultimately I made a lot of money with Imperial Tobacco shares which more than offset the losses on oil but I still lost money on the oil shares.
I don't dwell on it or have regrets but it's an easy game to get sucked into.
The money I lost did not change my life and if I didn't lose it it would be just sat in the bank with the rest so my life in essence is the same.
I am just putting it out there as I have seen it all before.
