I'm a lowly council employee and bunged the whole of my life savings into this at various between 8-17p, some £23k. I'm not sure I'd rather have the cash sitting in my 123 a/c, it's taught me a lesson and there will be further opportunities in life- I was out of share dealing for 20 years with family, mortgage commitments, started with Google, Microsoft etc but soon realized never going to make more than city break treats on a 20% spectacular year so I went for a gamble- We are all seriousl gamblers otherwise we wouldn't be on this board- we'd be on Shell, BP, HSBC or have our cash in unit trusts.
Why then bleat incessantly when things go wrong?- people really take things to heart, as if PH has it in for them personally- I can't help thinking that they are all extremely negative in every other aspect of their lives and no accepting of what is... if only I'd had taken that girl's number 30 years ago, not missed the train for the interview 20 years ago etc.
