Otherwise I'm going to whip my dick out and bore you with the tale of when I bought several hundred thousand shares of a little medical company in florida for 72 cents each, and sold them all for nearly $3 just over a year later

The company is MDF now (was MDPA), and was going through a restructuring in 2004 where they were closing/selling a couple money losing subsidiaries the former CEO had opened in a misguided effort to build an empire. It was easy to see that after losing the which they would be making 20 cents or so profit after tax. There were some risks, including a single customer, but at 3.5x potential PE it seemed like you were more than compensated for those risks. The new CEO did a bangup job and I sold when it reached a reasonable PE.
