Chris,
Maybe the OP doesn’t share any feelings of humiliation with us if he has them? One would think it can’t be an easy situation. He did lose some money, time and energy.
I am not saying it was right or wrong, but some of us have learned to feel a sense of failure when we get into things that don’t work out. I guess that keeps us for, the most part, on the strait and narrow. We dig deeper into the the possibility of success and failure. When things look bad we deal with them before we become “victims”.Everything isn’t an “accident” or someone else’s fault. We make “mistakes” now and then. We take our lumps and smooth them out ourselves. I have seen that those traits pay more dividends(of all kinds) in the long run. I think most Piggs have them, regardless of our different styles and approaches. I have actually thought about this as related to your style of trading quite some time back. I doubt you could do what you do with out being really tough this way.
I have friends who are going to “walk” from a loan or maybe even be forced out of the deal. As someone else posted, they will still be my friends. We do all make “mistakes”.
SDR, I thought you were very clear in the thread you are referring to. It was one of your best, of many good posts(threads), IMO.
