Tim....you do not know me as I just started posting, but you have been very kind to respond in such timely fashion to the PM's i sent you. When I first started trading, about a year ago someone on another thread was pushing Zappata. After doing some DD, obviously not enough I decided to buy. The person kept pushing it and the company sounded good to me. They had 250 mil in cash and looking to be the next AOL. I bought and I chased and got stuck @23. Went away to one of my most expensive vacations as the day I came back the market lost 500points and ZAP fell to around 12. I could not put stop loss on NYSE with DATEK and lost most of my money. Had to cover margin as well. To come to the point I never blamed that person nor angry at him. He said , he pushed, but I pulled the trigger. My fault and nobody else. The way I feel is that money comes and money goes, but my family's health is what counts the most. All the money in the world can not buy that. I feel with time and your help, I will make that money back again. Thank you for all your help. This thread and the people here are great, very helpful and very educational. I hope soon on your new thread to be be able to change my name to ok2day!
