Thanks Camie. I appreciate the sentiment. I imagine most of us here are doing it tough. I really like HotCopper because of what I learn from it but more importantly it helps to tap in to the sentiment of fellow investors. We are united by one thing. We are trying to make a better life for ourselves and our families. I find myself intrigued by all the different personalities on HC . I wonder about each and everyone's individual stories. I myself after years of investing in speculative shares came oh so close. I invested heavily in Ipernica. They had a universal binding patent on segmentation and reassembly technology which was an integral part of the ADSL broadband. But 2015, my ex-wife threatened that if I didn't divest and put the money elsewhere ( renovations holiday new car) she would divorce me. So I did. She left me anyway for a guy who made more money than me. Sold our house. Took our three children with her also. Nearly destroyed me. Got a scary insight into why so many guys top themselves. Ipernica went on to become Nearmap and at it's peak my investment had I been able to keep it would have been worth 2.5 million dollars. Ironic in the extreme especially given the ex is now a single mum living in Dandenong. The philosopher Doris Day would say Que Sera Sera.

Life can be cruel. I just discovered my man has hooked with a Russian hooker over New Years - add to that my beautiful Mercedes engine seized on NYE… I’m hoping 2023 at least brings me some financial success again on the market. I feel for you & admire you sharing your struggles. Hang in there!
