Subject: Re: So 9 years later
I remain rather perplexed that this crew, of all groups in the world, has concluded that an investment is a total bust and was obviously a stupid idea primarily because the price is down after a year. Do folks give up that easily?

I'd hesitate to draw conclusions based on what the most vocal minority post in a situation like this.

Such situations seem to bring out two main groups:

1) The "I told ya so's" group, ready to let the world know, and

2) The invested group, disheartened and licking wounds, who perhaps haven't fully passed judgment yet but have had their faith shaken about their investment choice.

The former have every incentive to be crow as they chest thump, but the latter not so much.
