Geoff maintains his optimism. I fear that it is just useful optimism, but unlikely to be justified.

I am selling for tax losses, but still am saving the shares in my retirement account (the majority). I would have nothing to gain by selling them (unless I invest in Sirius radio, I suppose.)

I stayed in so long because I couldn`t accept that this could happen.

Probably Paul is a fool much more than he is a thief. But I, too, am a fool for investing so much on his word.

But I take some solace in Worf`s and Geoff`s examples of graciousness.
