RJ - I second your post. And on a related note, I am afraid "the fat lady has finally sung". And if, as you say, you can be right in a wrong way, then, I think also we can be wrong in a wrong or right way. To your $80K loss, add my current $50K loss. And, to be honest, in an earlier in and out situation of years earlier I would guess I might add an approximate additional 40k loss to likely match or possibly surpass your total. Always liked to beat you at something!!
One thing we have not lost RJ--is our friendship. That's worth approximately 50K and a piece of frozen strawberry pie.
My thoughts on how to accept the FASC loss. Its okay to "mourn" a bit. It hurts to lose a lot of money. And like any other type of "grief", its good to get a bit of consolation from others. We are humans. We make mistakes. But, after a bit, we pick up the pieces and move on. One door closes, another opens.
Regarding FASC stock: Still wouldn't wallpaper the bathroom with it. Would "stick it in drawer" mentally--consider it as gone--the loss will fade. Character is being formed in the process also--either for good or bad.
As for this Board: Feel interest may fade rather quickly. I Hub, I believe, leaves inactive boards up for a considerable time. I hope occasional posts will occur.
Finally, RJ, I consider my years here as not a totally wasted experience. I like to study people, their character and motivation. Where else could we have learned more about the politics of Reno,Nevada as we shared FASC investment information. Good luck and fortune, my friend. It was so nice meeting you, your wife and lovely daughter.- Dave
