I posted two answers to your question the same day, did you see those?

If you can't be bothered to acknowledge any of that, why cut and paste something from Victor09 at Stockhouse here some 2 weeks later?

What exactly is it you are asking and what do you want to hear? FYI,We usually don't rehash posts from board to board. So if you are asking a question of a poster from that board, you are better served having your exchanges where they originate.

As for what is normal and what is not. Where do we start? For the record, I would not be okay with writing off investment losses either. IMHO
