Stix - being this is a public board and you made a public statement it is open for comment.
i absolutely adhore when someone alludes to another individual selling. so what if someone was. does not your own due diligence reign presidence over what anyone elses is?,...answer,...it should.
was it not you that took their index finger and hit the BUY execution with your broker ?,... answer, yes.
do you not have the ability to see that your initial investment might have fallen below your acceptable loss catagory (a trader should place on all their investments) and could you not have taken that same index finger and hit the SELL execution ?,..answer, yes.
all you just did was openly admit your inability to not know how to conduct your own D/D.
how could a mature adult individual expect anyone to take that victim story as something to empathize with ?
that pig ain't flying here,...take responsibilty Stix. no matter who you blame,..it is ultimately your responsibility.
