Lesson LearnedI learned a valuable lesson about 10 years ago. I had stumbled across the company Lucara (symbol- LUC) who were in the process of building a diamond mine. I bought in at $0.50/share and just loved the story and the potential. Despite my love for LUC, the stock price fluctuated and being new to investing, I had my eye on other stocks that were moving up. Thinking that there were greener pastures out there, I lost patience in LUC and sold my shares. A couple of years later, Lucara had finished their mine, was producing diamonds, was making money, and the price per share had climbed to over $4. I could have made a lot of money and instead I was in the red. The lesson I learned was about patience and to trust your gut when you find a good stock. TCF is that good stock.
