Hello wizzkid,
Good to hear from you! Once again your post comes with good timing ...

I have no ability to belittle anyone. I can simply express words, and allow the listener to create meaning. Likewise, nothing that you can ever say can "belittle" me ... that is only something that I can allow or disallow at will.
> Consider it done.
I am glad that you were able to fulfill on your dreams. I know that it seems to hold great meaning with you, and has now taken you closer to the largest of the goals of your life. I am glad to have facilitated your happiness!
> Next time, don't confuse enthusiasm with lack of wisdom.
Be assured that I do not confuse these terms, nor the distinctions that they represent. I would, however, question your definition of wisdom. I never argued the odds ... we simply were playing different games.
> You sure look like a fool now, Scott.
Hmmm ... interesting reflection that you see. I have absolutely no problem with my choices, and the risks that I took in pursuing what I repeatedly acknowledged was a lottery ticket. I had the spare cash, and saw a reasonable risk. I'm not upset with the outcome at all.
> Should have listened.
I don't live in a world of "should". I again have no issue with the loss. Well, actually since I have not sold, I don't have the loss yet ... we'll see what evolves with the company now.

No ... I didn't sell, and I am not "stuck" with anything. I have an even longer-shot investment that was a lottery ticket from the start. Oh ... and I actually had some sell orders set at $10 ... I was willing to get out sooner than $30.

Per your post, I looked and did have some cash in my account ... I just entered an order for $500 @ $.25/share ... another 2000 shares ... just for you! :-)
As a side note, you allude to some knowledge of wisdom and what that is. I'm afraid that from your posts, and the language that you use, you do not seem to exhibit the behaviors of someone who possesses wisdom ... IMHO, that would be expressed in a much different way. Just how it occurs to me.
As always, I am glad to have served you well, and so contributed to your feelings of success and joy!
