You can't blame it on other people...I saw you many times pushing Voltaire. Everyone is responsible for their actions. I never agreed with listening to Angles or throwing darts and if anyone followed that then they were asking for trouble. People could have sold at any moment during this mess but they chose to buy high and sell low. The stk mkt is not the lotto and many a fortune has been lost. Investing/trading is about what each individual is willing to take place in. No one lost anymore money than I but it was my own fault for being a dumbass..greed..laziness of research.People on these thread are just plain people and hv no magic about trading. Everyday I see people say buy this ..buy that...just read the last couple of days worth of post. To blame Voltaire or anyone else is not right..he never twisted anyones arm..I am sure he was wiped out listening to his own advice.The finger of blame needs to be turned backwards ...pointing at ourselves. I hope I learn from my mistakes which makes life a little easier to accept the way things are..Pop my boot straps and go forward. Insainity is repeating the same mistakes over and over expecting different results. Freeus lost her money because she didn't do her homework and bot high/sold low...number one rule of the mkt is not do it that way. She has been doing this the past 2 months..had she bot the tech stks and held them then she would had made good money...she got real emotional and depressed trying to get her lost money back. Hell she had Qcom go up 160 points in 1 day and didn't take the profits...not counting the run it made getting to that point..I did the same thing..greed/fear/lotto/no research...many did this. That's not anyone on the porch's fault..period..the blame lies on each and everyone of us for making stupid mistakes..I am the biggest fool of all. Even today both you and I cheerlead stks right here on this thread..I am not a Voltaire follower and never have been but he's not responscible for everyones actts. I respect his spiritual beliefs but it's crazy for you or I to believe there is stock picking Angles...plain foolish.
