"I will warn all of you about what has happened in the past to shares that I have owned."

"It seems that if I own a stock, it goes down and stays down."

"Hope this time is different as I own 26 000 shares of KRY"

Now, what exactly am I supposed to do with your advice when even you don't listen to yourself?

You're probably a soft basher, but just in case you're not: why haven't you put your dough into something else besides stocks. I won't suggest anything because my other advice is even more important and that is to seek financial advice elsewhere than on a message board.
