Colin, to come to market to make money b'cos u hv just lost your job is not an ideal solution to replace your lost salary as the risks are high that u could loose your savings too. Go find income that don't hv to risk your savings eg. another job or commissions income. Once that taken care and IF u still interested to make stock market a business income then seek out a mentor to guide u if u can't find one then self taught yourself as there are good books out there...avoid those expensive seminar or systems.

penny stocks is a big con game if u want to play u must learn to run faster than usian bolt.

do not buy anymore, your stock selections and timing r recipe for disaster couple with no risks management eg stop loss. if u genuinely want to learn risks managemnt is your top priority.
