Trying to stay positive. My portfolio just got crushed. I sold all my other positions except 2 to make sure I have my original monies and the tax money I'm going to need to pay cuz apparently I may not be able to realize my loses on PHOT. At this point guys just being able to get rid of these shares is better than not. The tax thing is the icing on this Phitsickle cream douchebag cake.
LESSON F-ING LEARNED. I'm not done here in Pennyland. I'm gonna take a vacation. Then I'm going to study and learn more. Then I will be back, and I can assure you all no more pipe dreams. And no more spreading myself thin, and I'm definitely keeping most of my gambling money in money form. I am so so sorry to everyone here that got blindsided, I was naive to think that in the worst case I could dump my shares for at least 20% 40% if things went sour. NOT THIS. I've been here since June '13 and I have lost a few picks because of P&Ds - These I always watch and flip in a short time and would expect one of these companies to get nailed by the SEC. But Oh well!
The more reality seeps in and denial goes away. If we objectify the actions of the past few months I am leaning towards an illegal marketing technique to drive up pps and/or the business plan GIFT was falling apart and they panicked. Maybe partners were finding better deals elsewhere etc. Something along those lines anyways - who knows for sure right now!
Thank you everyone on this board. Even the ones who take pleasure in kicking us when we are down because at the end of the day I am not you :) This board is a comfort to those of us suffering right now and at least be able to vent. I'm shell shocked which is why I'm stepping away for awhile.
I will admit that I will be in my pajamas crying this weekend. If Anyone of you longs on PHOT want to vent and rant and cry just to get it out and know you are not alone then message me. I will read it and you will know that someone empathizes. Get your story out, tell people, especially the ones who love you, don't be ashamed for being duped. This is America, we all get fked by scams from time to time... etc. etc. Let it out! At least we are trying to meet goals and dreams instead of settling to be a cog in this machine.
GLTA - hope to see familiar faces around - I'll be at the SPL* board ;)
