ian, i'm sorry bit i don't care about stuff like that. i am not unhappy in life. i like to drink heavy only when i think about cube. i could have made more money then i ever made in my life. but i blew it by not selling at 34. i feel better when i drink on it. i am the stupidest investor of all. but i am getting smarter and i think that i will start buying oxhp like someone said before. that has already gotten killed like cube did. i am a jerk for being so stupid to hold on to this stock. i promise God that if he makes it go up to 34 again i will sell and never complain to him about anything again in my life. thats just the way it is.
