life saving lost, page-4

Really sorry to hear, it's certainly a huge mess, but it's a classic example of why it's so important to diversify. This obviously isn't helpful now, but it could save someone else some pain in future. Hold diverse businesses in diverse industries and sectors. Hold diverse asset classes, and remember that cash is an asset class too. Hold offshore investments - easy with ETFs. Accept that diluted gains are the price of diluted risks.

We've all heard this a thousand times over, but how many of us are guilty of keeping too many eggs in one basket? I certainly am, for one.

Sorry again, hope you find a way to recover your losses and move on. This is easily the worst bit of shareholder abuse that I've seen on the ASX.
