That's a nicey piesy post, but the truth is, if you want to accomplish things in life, enhance your lifestyle, you have to take calculated risks.

Most of us here analysed the risk/reward of this investment 1-3 years ago and determined it had the possibilities to be a rare, seldom found, opportunity for a life altering change.

Money can't buy happiness, so they say, but it sure makes it a lot more pleasant to be miserable, and you'll never accumulate a lot of it without being able to put your fear of losing it in your back pocket.

I've often said, there are three components to opportunity, you have to recognise it, you have or find the money to take advantage of it, and you have to have the courage to risk your hard earned money by investing in the idea.. take away any one of those 3 components and there was no opportunity at all.

Coulda, shoulda just doesn't cut it. calculated risk does......chunky
