I tell you this board is like therapy. I hate to say this, but I am only 3K into 1K, but I did get about 6 friends involved with the knowledge that it was a complete gamble. Hate it for my friends more than I hate it for me. I have lost 2k at a craps table before I just wish I wouldn't have involved the friends. All total probably only about 10K invested and we are all down about 75%, it hurts, but not nearly as bad as the folks that have been here since 2009 or further.
That said I am still optimistic. I think once things get shaken-out we have a chance to get back to .01, it is just going to take time. Thankfully I have a job so I have nothing but time. No reason for me to throw the towel in now.
