You are not alone in this. We're hanging on and hoping for that one unlikely outcome, that Petar and Steve try to do the restuffing and regluing of humpty dumpty[the trading shell]that might keep them out of jail. And pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze no SEC halt.

You need to read your post again and look at the positives. You have a wife who loves you and there is no shame in trying to make your future better for the both of you. I too had many visions of riches and then what I would do with them. Charity, was a big part if this had gone to the moon! Helping kids in our communty. Would have been able to do some great things!

Now you need to move forward, learn from your mistake and give many hugs to the wife you love and obviously loves you. You still have many good things and that is what you need to look at and be thankfull for on this holiday and every day after it!

My prayers are with you and your family!

Enjoy the holiday! Happy Thankgiving!

dude, i feel your pain and truely do feel empathy with and for you and all of those that were hurt in this foul (or fowl.. pun intented) play of events. there is nothing that i can say that will bring your money back, other than the hope that this stock may make an unprecedented turn, for the best, in the future. i too have lost a good deal of money here after previous bad plays, so at least know that you are not alone in your misery. stay positive and live your life. as i've always noticed in my own life, when you're feeling down and out and overwelmed by the pressures of life, there's always something good waiting on the horizon. stay positive and life has a way of working itself out. Tomorrow will be a better day.

take care and happy thanksgiving.

Dude, get back on the hoarse. Learn from you mistake. In the future, DIVERSIFY!!! Pick 4 or 5 positions in different sectors. Don't give up. Count what blessings you do have and be thankful for them. Just my opnion.

also remember that you took a chance here for the right reasons (to better your life for you and your wife) and those reasons are something to be proud of no matter how this works out.

Michael...you need to sit down somewhere quiet, and, examine the richness in your life....this may sound cliche, but, it is true.

You already have a richness that most on this planet do not....have a loving family that they can enjoy this and next month's holiday season with, and, they love you.

Many people would gladely give up their "richness" for some of what you have, and, don't kid yourself......there are many, many people who are either alone, or are missing a close loved one, and, are quite miserable during the holidays.

As for SLJB, unless you sold.....you are not yet lost, as there is still the ending chapters of this story yet to be told......

In other words, if you still have your investment, then, IMO you still at least a 50-50 chance that you can re-coup your investment, and, perhaps more....

Please keep up the faith, you are NOT alone in your lifeboat, there are many here the same.

All the Best....Now, go and give your family a hug !

Gratitudedude, My heart goes out to you bud. I am still in (close to 80%) and as you might expect down big. I am trying to focus on what I am thankful for at this time. It does help, but it is so easy to fall back and dwell on the loss.

Will be praying for you.

I don't think I've ever posted on this board but I just was led to this post.

You said:
The plus's. I have a home, a wife that still loves me, food, clothing, one friend, some brothers and sisters that love me.

There are many who don't even have that so you are already ahead of the game.

You also have one other thing. You've learned a very hard lesson that will stay with you forever.

Good luck to you.

100%, all-in....etc: Sounds like you were lost before you placed your SLJB bet.
Your problem is not this potential loss, it's how you felt about yourself before you placed this bet.

With respect to the money...be grateful this happened early. Had you not lost it all here, chances are you would have lost it all later on. And in the meantime, any wins would not have made you happy.

I am sorry for your mindset right now. Sounds to me you need to come clean with your wife and stay out of this casino. Your worth is not measured by the amount of money you have or don't have.

Michael: focus on the positive things in your life and hold them close. Talk to your wife about this and use it as a lesson learned the hard way. A lot of us made the same mistake in believing what other people told us about this company. You will get through this okay, dont let it get you down because you still have family that loves you and need you healthy.
You can also email to me if that helps. jbg9617@yahoo.com.
Good luck to you.
