Three Missed Opportunities

Below is a list of some investments that i wish i had pulled the trigger on:

I had placed Research in Motion(RIMM) on my watchlist when it was $37. I kept waiting for RIMM to drop to $32 to buy. It never happened and now RIMM is at $47.

I could have bought Transocean (RIG) at $47. I thought that it would dip back to its 52 week low of $41.95. Transocean is now at $55.

I missed US Steel(X) at $25. It looked cheap at $25 but I kept waiting for it to get cheaper. US Steel had just bounced off its low of $20.71. US Steel now trades at $37.

And one more.

I thought about buying Palm(PALM) at $2.50 per share last week. The stock is now over $6 per share on the upcoming release of its new smartphone, the Palm Pre. I don’t regret not buying Palm despite the stock’s huge run up because I couldn’t find any fundamental reason to invest in Palm. Even though the stock is at 6 now, it could just as easily trade at $1 based on the company’s troubles.
