Alan,

I read your apology post and I have to ask you a question (and feel free to PM me if you don't want to share that info with everybody here - I would PM you but I am a free member so I can't).

So you sold 1 mil. shares of CDIV and made almost million dollars.. What kind of an initial investment are we talking about here? The reason I ask is that I cannot imagine that any average person would be close to million dollars and then risk it all to lose in other pink/otc stocks. I would say most people would take 80-90% out and gamble with 10-20% of the profit but I know for sure that for most people here million dollars would be more than enough to call it a retirement and would never think to gamble with that. I say most because I know some aim for a lot more but statistically speaking I believe "most people here" is a pretty safe bet.

I know that money can get to your head but I just don't believe that anybody would make a million to lose it all just like that.
So please pick one of the following: :)

a) I am pretty well off so $1 mil. isn't really that much money for me
b) I did sell 1 mil. shares of CDIV and I lost some but I said I lost it all so other people feel better
c) I never had 1mil shares of CDIV but I can say I do because we are all pretty much anonymous on the web and I dare you to prove me wrong
d) I will never fall asleep again thinking what I could have done with the money I gambled away

I took out the guilt part and the team from the equation and just focusing on the personal perspective.

Thanks.
