The thing that has helped me to overcome my anger and frustration over this episode is accepting my part in this debacle. If I had kept my investment at a comfort level (which would not have hurt so much financially) then I would have been upset but would have got over it a lot quicker than I did do. By accepting that it was in part my own fault it has enabled me to move on. Blaming the Jews, the man with no name, Pearson doesn't make any sense until we have some hard facts. None of them forced us to buy the stock - I know this hurts, as it hurt me. This is the price I've paid to become a better trader - even if it does mean starting again with next to nothing. I hope you can reach the same conclusion - you will not then live in hope for something that may never materialize. I am not excusing the wrongdoers (whoever they turn out to be) but truly beleive it will help you in the long run to face up to your own actions as well. Good luck in your future trades
