If I could afford a beer I would cry in it!
I had $13000.00 I told my wife that I will invest so if I could I would make 15 grand with it so we could put up a pole barn .. In less then 4 months I was well over 15 grand then it happened (oh yea I should tell you I was margined to the hilt) the market turned south the broker told me to hang on it will come back ...then the margin calls. To make a story short I lost everything but 4 grand writing off 3 grand a year for the next 5 years ...I didn't tell the wife but she found out yesterday cause we had to write out our taxes for a college loan for our son... she said, "did you really lose 15 grand in the market?" I said yes and not another thing was said....I'm living in fear .....lol
