AWNE
Americas Wind Energy Corporation
stock OTC

This is embarrassing but AWNE from like 2008. I used to work in a mental health treatment facility I'm upstate New York. We'd get a number of people (or their children) who lived and worked in NYC on wall street or the such. I was early into my post college career and I asked one of the wall street type brokers who I can't remember why he was there what he recommended. He told me to watch AWNE which was an OTC stock for wind energy. I bought 40 bucks worth of the penny stock at had to paid like a 7 dollar fee to my broker.
It only went down from there and it was essentially DOA. I later told him that it didn't do well and he responded "I told you to watch, not buy."
In reality it was a cheap lesson in not buying on dumb stock tips.
