Nice post. Have you looked into margin trading at all yet? Not for the feint hearted, but worth doing a little research.
When I first heard about BTC it was $7 ... friend told me to sink some money in and gave me half a coin ... I looked into buying some, but it was too difficult so I gave up. Biggest mistake ever.
Wouldn't invest at these levels, but a ton of action around for the savvy margin trader.
