Much like you, Law,, I have lost almost million dollars three times---once on a airplane when my broker could not reach me--when I landed he got in touch and said ""Art, we are out of business"" I said "what happened?"" He said , it opened down 14 points ----that was a $200 stock and I had 1500 shares on margin----I ended up having to pay him $247.00----

But , like you said ,, I needed the tax loss for a runner from $2,50 up to 39.75---10,,000 shares---I sold and then shorted the sucker---it went to zero in 18 months---biopharma stock--

Like you also said,, it is only money,, not life and limb,, even if your wife thinks so---

At my age ,, they will commit me if I take too much risk now--- I am monitored by the house mouse mgt team---

cheers
