My sole risky venture was a '90's forced REIT spinoff into a B2B tech info company that went from $2/sh to $500/sh, then back to zero. Those 50 shares were a roller coaster that I can use and laugh at as an experience. Otherwise, nothing beats good fundementals, sound corporate governance, a LT sustainable business models, that in especially in my case and age.... equities that spew cash divys like crazy. Yeah, I get pretty obsessvie and excited with it.

We seem to hold similar philosophies, mine maybe a bit more into conservative dividend growth stocks.
Had one experience though just a few months ago trying the risk market by buying into a company I read up on that had received FDA approval on a peanut allergy medicine but prevented from marketing due to Covid.
Entry price was right so I bought with little hope it would be all that great. Lo and behold, Nestle made a tender offer a short few weeks later and my investment more than doubled overnight.
That was the good news. The bad news is my career was a lot involved in exploration risk ventures and my experience is that the worst thing to ever do is to drill the first exploration well successfully as one will believe the secret to success has been found, and risk guidance on future wells will be tossed out the window.
I am strongly resisting the urge that I found a secret formula.

Great story, I have a few of those too, including a few bullworths like APPL that I got into nicely at double digits pre-split. You might have over estimated my risk taking. I have significant interest and love in nicely rated high paying Corp. Bonds. I still have some on the back third of their tenure, up in the 6-8% yield range. And then there is my wife.... She's had a lifetime love of CD's and working the interest rates at optima times. Then add farm and timber land, metals, etc. We actually are pretty conservative investors, especially with the core of what we need to live on.
Last March was an opportunity of a life time. One of my three kids took the plunge, and has quad his portfolio. He pulled off a right place, at the right time like me in '87. Nothing like a little family competition. :cool:
