I remember about 20 years ago I ventured into stock investing. I was in my early twenties at the time and took practically all of my savings and dumped it in one stock.

I lost about 70% of my money over the next 12 months.

It never dawned on me that I should blame someone for this decision. The victim mindset of Enron employees is pathetic.

If something illegal took place that's one thing. But I refuse to feel sorry for stock investors who made decisions and lost money.

Is the government going to bail me out when I make a poor trading decision? Shall we get rid of the ability to trade stocks because some ignorant person might make a mistake?

Why don't we just turn the entire market over to the wonderful government. In this way we can all be protected from ourselves....
