who said that their pain was worse than yours? What the heck are you blabbing about? Your posts sound WAY more like whining than CFlynn's. Your money is gone. I hope it wasn't a lot. CFlynn et al are moving on and at the same time doing something about trying to recoup some of their loss. You don't have the same recourse. If you want your money back, get a part time job, get a higher paying job, insulate your house better, buy generic paper towels instead of Bounty, but do something instead of whining about "my boo-boo's bigger than yours."

You went to Vegas, put some chips down, and your number didn't come up. Start reading Kiplinger's or Smart Money, or spend some time on Motley Fool to learn about more stable styles of investing.
