No, no I understood you I was just more or less venting because exactly what you are talking about is what I have been verbally harassed for in other forums.. it seems we are all supposed to feel sorry for someone that decides hey I have a great idea you know that house we bought, yeah the single biggest purchase most people ever make in their lives, you know the one we saved for years and years to get the down payment for, the one that we pay a huge chunk of our monthly income to afford.. yeah that one.. lets put it all on the line in an online LOAN program run but some guy I've never met... or checked out

I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to lose large amounts online. The most I've lost is $450 so I can't even know how those people who risk losing their homes because of their carelessness feel like right now.

I admit I've lost more than my share of money, very little of it online as I have a pretty good smell meter, (obviously not perfect) but I've lost thousands before in the markets in a single trade etc.. but that is something I go into with eyes open and I am the one calling the shots and controlling my money...
I quite agree with you in regards to the "afford to lose" comment as much as I dislike it I have never put money on the line that if instantly gone would have any adverse effect on my life.

The funny thing is that a while back I was actually thinking of joining Legisi with a small "test" amount. But oh how such wise men hindsight makes of us.

I realize now looking back I was very very lucky to be in so early, back when the rates were higher and I was able to get the seed money back and a little profit.. I don't expect to see a penny of the "money" in my account there and have already accepted that..due to my being in "profit" and the fact that I stirred it up a bit in the Legisi forum before they deleted all my posts hehehe.... ahhhhh good times...
