Sorry for your loss - know the feeling been down that road with TAW - all the hype, all the expectations and boom - VA with not much warning - but prior to VA they had money for name changes and having 2 secretaries and getting pay rises etc. Putting too much on one stock and trusting management - some of us find out far too late that it can be a lethal combination.

SYA's thus far saving grace is that they are debt free - unlike AJM was and which ultimately caused their downfall. AJM management had a lot of their own money invested and money lost as well - cold comfort, however, there are a lot of companies where management may have little or none invested in the company they run.

I have pretty much written off SYA as a so called investment but it's pretty much pointless in selling at these levels - hence hold and hope that next year something positive unfolds.

The markets are fickle at the best of times and savage to boot - putting one's hard earned in a managed fund would have proved less risky. If only. Hindsight, love it or hate it.
