The money I put on the Venture and the SLI fiasco was written off the moment I bought in, over and over as I increased my position. The money was gone even as it grew.... Like when I was winning big at the casino- it wasn't a win until I cashed in. I was, and still am, totally in control of my own decisions. I feel no shame. Life is grand.
.......The experience here has been an eye opener to say the least. I still have favorite stocks I enjoy watching and wish I could allow myself to be part of. But after witnessing the criminal behaviour of the SLI management, and all the efforts that many of us made to inform the authorities as well as use the power of voting to oust Lori McClenahan and her band of crooks..... Well, I'll invest in a russian chinchilla farm before the Venture ever sees a dime of mine.
........ For me- It isn't about losing money - that was cash I had decided to gamble. It's all about the criminals getting away with blatant criminal behaviour and the corrupt ineptness of the laws that are in place to protect us. What a joke.
.... Thank goodness for those folks that have stuck it out and keep on fighting the good fight. I'll keep my shares, and an eye open on this site in case those shares are needed once again. There close to a million votes collecting dust around my neighbourhood... David may be fighting against all odds, but maybe one day Goliath will fall. Keep on keepin on people. And thanks for doing so. There is an interesting story hear and people will one day want to hear about it.
...... And, From what I hear, the sh*thouse gang hasn't faded away, and that alone speaks volumes. Special thanks to Ricks endless resolve. Yes, sometimes you remind me of my LSD days, but please don't stop. And Molson and others, the research and dirt you dig up is eye opening and brilliant. The connections these criminals have to one another is right there for everyone to see. I hope to see a day when your efforts are rewarded. Thank goodness for resources like the internet and the resourcefulness of some folks that won't back down. Win or lose, it's inspiring.
