At the beginning of 2008 I was arrogant about my knowledge of the stock market. Then September through November happened. That was the first BIG blow to my stock-picking-ego. The second was when an idiot friend of mine kept pushing me to look at traded REITs because of how beat up they were. He was looking at GRT (Glimcher Realty Trust) and I thought he was an idiot for looking at retail REITs. He dumped money in at under $1 (close to its 52 week low). I mocked him and laughed at him. What kind of idiot would throw $$ at retail real estate in this market? He went on to get .32 dividend and sold at $3.40 per share. Not a day goes by that the doesn't remind me of this transaction. He also admits to being extremely lucky, and I admit to wishing I had just thrown at least something at his idea. Maybe I will see something like that again, but it takes being really lucky and willing to hold the position for a while. Yikes. Humbled and learning I was recently humbled by a friend.
