Date: January 21st, 2015 3:30 PM Author: salmon at-the-ready field This is what I don't get, this should be a fucking celebration of the current system. It shows why hedge funds are only for accredited investors and people who can handle a major loss like this. But instead we get the fucking JOBS Act trying to let everyone in because "that's not fair!!"
Investing is gambling. You want a chance for big gains, you get a chance for it. We can't guarantee everyone will succeed in the market. |

This guy obviously invested in something extremely risky with a very small upside. |

HTH
It's pretty obvious that the risk this guy took on was not justified by the potential return.
The only way you lose this much money in such a small amount of time is by betting 100% of your capital on a single investment, which basically violates every fucking rule of responsible investing. |

Date: January 21st, 2015 3:50 PM Author: Blathering exciting meetinghouse it's not pretty obvious, dipshit a single investment increases risk, it doesn't reflect on upside if it tanks or on downside if it quadruples. btw, you are a moron for thinking it does. |
