About 1984, I had a discussion with a friend who recommended 2 stocks from his research. I was going to go with one or the other. One was Mattel, the toymaker who was about to get into some new ventures, so I bought $1000 worth @ $.75 a share. 2 years later I sold it for $100 less commission. The one I did not choose was a small startup company called Netflix. Life is full of choices...
