Ozzie – the folks that take joy in others losses in this context, in my opinion, are attempting to offset and obscure the fact that many, many others have made incredible sums of money in a short period of time. It makes them feel better about “missing the boat”.
RiU – excellent example of folks who are cashing in HUGE in a mere 8 years. Wow.
Bugs – your projected $65K loss is based on nothing but speculation – akin to the speculation that the originator of this thread was operating under when proclaiming this deal was a “bloodbath”. You can speculate as you wish and attempt to spin this deal any way you desire – no matter, without some cold, hard facts in support there is simply no way to characterize this deal as a “bloodbath”. And that is my only reason for chiming in on this thread – to point out that the thread was initiated with a screaming, sensational and inflammatory headline that now appears to have fizzled into a “uh…never mind.”
