ok - thanks for clearing that up a bit.
It wouldn't make sense for us all to stop posting ideas, say woe-is-me and just expect the worst possible outcome as our fate. It is true that we could all leave here with absolutely nothing. Anybody who thinks otherwise just isn't thinking.
I've made plenty of bad investment decisions in the past and I would add this to the list and even say, by golly marayatano's theory was correct. Until then it just seems like an ok thing to be optimistic. Nobody should be buying stuff expecting for these investments to pay it off one day, because it may not happen.
Good luck to all of us including you!
