I too was tempted by Jamba Juice. However I decided that there was too much hype about Jamba being the next Starbucks. I never believed this considering Starbuck's was profitable from day one, while Jamba has over 100 stores and is still not profitable. This does not stop them from expanding their store base.
While I avoided Jamba, I did get sucked into Sun Microsystems in 2002. We all make mistakes, and that is when you are able to become a better investor. First rule is to always sell if the stock drops 10%. It is always hard to take a loss, but that is better than a 85%+ loss I suffered with Sun Micro.
