You lost money 4 X yet you post investment advice about others should react when it happens to them? I for one investor am not an unintelligent man, yet I had no idea at all that a company could get away with the level of sheer bs this company has managed to get away with. You couldn't make the stuff up! So from an investing perspective I guess I did learn that I'll never invest again. Though it wouldn't have taken me 4 bankruptcies to figure that out!
At least with a normal stock bankruptcy, you can take tax losses. And with a robbery, you can file an insurance claim. With ANV people can't even do that.
