People like us, do not usually have money for buying stocks on impulse. Still, it almost happened to me last week. I was on the verge of buying into Facebook on an opening day.

In the end, I did resist buying Facebook stock. Not that Facebook is a bad investment but, the whole affair was nothing else than impulse buying. I didn’t study the valuation, I wasn’t reading analyst reports. I was just buying it, for the sake of it. Giving in to the hype and hoopla.
