Hey, I totally hear you on the risk-reward calculus, Poker. That's pretty much why we all get involved in these things anyway, no? I mean really, I'm personally in for 2K and if this totally blows up, it just means next time I go to Vegas or Brazil I'll have to take it a little easy on the extracurriculars in order to balance things out. On the other hand, however, something big happens, we see a ten-bagger, I make 20K and now you are talking some real money. I've pissed away two grand doing things with absolutely no chance of anything more than a couple of hours of fun to the upside more times than I care to imagine. I consider it damn near privilege to have this opportunity to make so much for so little.
The key thing, as we all know, is that you just simply can not bet the milk money on this stuff. Once you do, then you've got problems. And I honestly I have just about zero sympathy for you if you wind up getting screwed.
