My gains on PLS and LTR are in 7 figures. My loss on SYA (assuming they go bust) are in 5 figures. So, no, in the scheme of things, as I said, I am not heavily invested, but it still hurts. I have traded for over thirty years. In the last few years, when I decide to invest in a stock, I buy a small parcel, when they go up 20% or more, I buy a few more. That way, I can invest a lot over time and if they go down to below my average, I can get out without loss as my average is always less than market value. If they never go up (SYA), I can only lose my initial small investment. I always say, only invest what you can afford to lose.
