Thankyou maidit308.
I have every reason to feel positive with a light touch of humour. Having gone through stock crashes 3x AND bounced back since 1987.
I know what it is like to see 70% of your investments destroyed before you can even sell a bean. I was in Spain with my new wife on honeymoon when 9 the 1987 crash came. It was Saturday when someone in my hotel mentioned it. The matkets had already tumbled by 50% with much more to come. It was late on the Monday when i finally got through to my Nat West broker from a dodgy phone line in Spain and sold everything. Excruciating losses, no internet and phone lines jammed with sellers trying to get out.
I learned the hard way.....it took years to get back into fair profits.
I lost mostly on medicalcresearch pharmas.
Poolbeg is my first Pharma since then.
When my wife died in 2019 the bottom fell out of me. You realise money is not everything BUT IT HELPS and i almost lost my investments again. It is now just an hobby for me....
I learned how to LARF while trying not to cry.
It's only money after all. Keep your family and friends, they are most important.
