wow paramount – your life must suck – being a victim is such a powerless place to come from
interesting that others were able to see the developing bubble in 2003 when you purchased – I started selling my properties in 2002 because I could see the bubble developing and expected it to pop at any moment
how about this for an analogy to your situation:
I detected and reacted to the bubble TOO EARLY and therefore I deserve a bailout – I should be given the money that I left on the table by selling before the peak occurred in 2005/6/7 – by my calculations my bailout should be about $500K
I underestimated the size of the ultimate bubble because of all the fraud going on – since it is someone else’s fault that I made a less than optimal decision I should be bailed out to the tune of $500K
