Bald man, I am not laughing. I understand. We all get sucked into it sooner or later. I got burned on metals years ago under similar circumstances.

But the facts speak for themselves. This was less investment than a lottery. For some the numbers came up. For many more they didn't. It's a bitch. How much of that was greed, and how much just being naive? Does it matter?

Remember its only gone if you sold. Some people in metals have been holding losers for years. Waiting on a stock to rebound is not new. But the rule is to write it off emotionally. Its gone. If it comes back fine, if not you can always request the certificates and paper the garage walls; and someday maybe your grandchildren will find em and cash em in after the 10th buyout makes em worth something.

But it ain't Harmon's fault. He's was just the Tout. Its his business. I saw him on TV and he either needs help choosing his wardrobe and a shave, or he was pretty shook up himself--probably all of the above.
