Never, well said. My broker told me when it was at .75 the last time to get out and I didn't. Then when it started falling he said again, get out, wait till it hits bottom, then, if it starts to go back up wait and see if it's really going up before you buy. I was too smart for my own good.

Speaking of that, either you or someone else (Kool?), asked about those who had lost or gone bankrupt in EDIG. Here's a good story. One of our traders was highlighted in a published book called "The Guts and Glory of Day Trading: True Stories of Day Traders Who Made (or Lost) $1,000,000". This is public information in a published book so is a valid post and there is no reason to remove it. She "outed" herself.

Go look it up on Amazon, then scroll down the left side to "search inside" - type in Mary Pugh. It will take you to chapter 8 which you can read in its entirety. I don't think she had lost the entire $6M or $7M yet, but she was down to $1M or so when this was published. I assume she eventually lost it all.

Nice reading. I bet Putnam didn't lose a minute's sleep over it.
