food4thought..
I feel your pain.. I lost over 250K so far..
I was hoping to be part of an incredible story as well..
Well, I guess I am in a way..
In 20 some years, when I think I should be retired, I'll think back at the day I stumbled upon this stock. Someone will see the pain in my face tht usually is reserved for a person that lost out in Love, and ask me what I'm thinking about.. I'll tell them the story of how my 250K should be about 1mil now if I never heard of Cortex. How I was so easily swayed from an original opinion of "something was too good to be true" to thinking I had a secret that only the few lucky folks on this board knew.. How guys named Nuero used his deep knowledge of biology to make me feel like an idiot..stump down in quick succession every reservation I had about COR..
Ahhh yes, what a wonderful story I have to tell..

For years, I invested in high dividend paying stocks, and diverified to no end.. got myself a nice little net egg going over the years.. and then, came across the "little engine that could named COR" ..
Bought into the hype, then bought more, and then bought more.. sold all my other holdings, and bought more..

My only hope is that I can tell this story to the people I love so that they do not f**k up as bad as I did in my investing. Learn from my mistake called "COR"..

I will hold on to my remaining shares, if only to remind myself of my mistake.. I will hold on until COR goes under, or I break even..

Man, how great would it be to post someday 5 years in the future that I sold COR for a profit.. if even $10! not a share, but $10 profit after commission :)

I accept that I am an investing idiot.. 20 years of proper investing gone south in just a few short months..
And, ain't it great that the good old DOW is back to 14,000..
Man, my shares of DIA, SPY, EWZ, MSFT, etc. are sure missed in my lonely portfolio tht just says "COR"
