We all got snookered. Certainly not the first time for me and no doubt neither the last. It was the product presentation and all the puffery that sucked me in. But I have other ones in my history where the sucking sound drones out anything I am hearing in regards to my TIVU position. Those are from before I put in some hard and fast rules about just how much I would allow that sucking sound to suck out of my portfolio. An $800 loss is manageable and only 20% off of my max for this kind of fishing. So that shows that I did have some confidence in our sleezy little con ASK paper hanger. It was a long shot and I knew it, but I just didn't really think that he would have been quite so slimy. LOL
We never have enough information in these markets to know much beyond the standard fair of rhetoric. Look at Zuckerberg and all those "BIG BOYS" that got sucked into near 50% losses as greed drove them crazy. Just count your blessings that you weren't either able too or willing to fall for that 100X valuation IPO. Oh my!
The picture Shiva Prakash painted was very pretty. Perhaps he even believed it himself. I watch that last video of him though and I kind of wondered how often he may have gotten out of his pajamas and brushed his teeth. Actually if you watch it a couple times it appears as a satirical comedy. But that is the nature of the game we play with so many losers and scammers lurking about. I'd suggest not beating yourself up about it too hard and just try to learn from it what you may and work on your game. This is a tough game we play. Think about where you may possibly find your profits. Think hard on it. And I wish you every success in putting the Shiva effect behind you.
