April 30, 2008 was the worst day of my life. After the stock plunged and things looked so dark I had the break the news to the wife. We have a significant portion of our investments in this stock. I initially started to buy when Cramer was pumping the stock. Then it became the stock of the year. Cramer cautioned on the speculative nature of the play but come on... GOLD!

I just didn't see how this could go wrong. A Canadian company... a Canadian miner. It just felt right. The risk surely was over-stated. Right.

After the divorce I bought back in. I don't know why. I figured things would turn around. Still can't believe that it dropped even more.

So, here I am now. A year later. Lost more than just money. Yet I'm still hanging in there. Think this will take another year?

Anyways. In the end I blame myself.
