Oh, but yes you can, dear jimmy. If you had been with "us guys" (Kingpin & Asssociates), you would have won by virtue of not having lost what you have lost ....AND! ... you would have won by virtue of investing that which you would have saved, but now lost, in a more appropriate investment vehicle and reaping the rewards there from!! AND, furthermore, you could have invested those rewards in yet more investments, reaping yet even more rewards which could have been invested yet again .... and so on and so on.
But, since you elected to live your life and invest your money in direct defiance of the sage advice of Kingpin & Associates, you have lost your original money, plus the rewards on that money ... and the rewards on those rewards ... and the rewards on those rewards ... and so on and so on.
I should hope this would be explanation enough for you and is quite clear to you ... as i could go on in greater detail, but am now quite tired and dizzy. Therefore, i make an end.
All Hail Kingpin & Associates!!
