We all dream about having bought microsoft for pennies back in the seventies, or more recently bagging cheap shares in hot stocks like Taser, or HANS.
But who here has really ever made massive returns in a stock?

About 3yrs ago, I bought 50 sprint call options for .15 (750.00) and 2 days later they made an announcement and I sold them for $1.50 & 1.65 making about $8000.00.....It felt like Christmas!

I made once about 150% on an IPO in a few days. This was when I just started out in the stockmarket. For one day I thought I had it made, and then I got the note from the broker saying that I had got 2 shares in the IPO, instead of the 100 I had asked for.
So the total gain was a few hundred bucks.

I once made 100% in one day. It was lucky that I sold it the next day. This is not a usual occurrence. I am usually quite a bit more conservative but I bought a gold mine stock that doubled the next day and I sold with a 100% profit in one day. That is an annual return of 36,500% LOL

I made a 100% in one day back in 1999 with Qualcom options.
I also tripled my money in 3 months using AOL options in '99.
