I have dabbled in the stock market for almost 50 years. Several times I have even made a profit, and now consider myself something of a stock market master. Now, because I'm nearing the end of my trading days, I would sincerely like to pass on to my WWA family the secret to making money in the market by shrewd trading, study, and hard work.

Following is a real account of my very best, all time, money making trade percentagewise. I offer this transaction in detail because I love you folks.

Several years ago in surfing the internet I happened on the website of a new company just formed. As a promotion, each visitor to the website would receive shares in the new company simply by registering with name and address, which I promptly did, shrewd devil that I am. A notice that I was a registered shareholder reached me in due time.

Each year since, and this morning, I have received official notice of an annual shareholders meeting with a proxy voting form. This year the meeting is held at the Warwick Hotel in New York at 10:00 am, June 2nd, but as usual, I fear I will have to offer my attendance regrets.

However, out of curiosity I just checked the current share price. $72.98. By registering I received either 6 or 7 shares, and it could be more now due to splits and dividends.

Percentagewise, this is my best all time stock market trade. An infinite profit margin is seldom achieved, and I truly hope everybody learns something from it.

You really know how to buy low and sell high Jess. In a free enterprise system, you don't usually get stuff like that for free! :-D

Got me, Eric. They do something in the travel industry. After signing up, maybe 8-10 years ago, my only contact with it has been the annual email notice of the shareholder meeting.
