    Default Ever lost Big on a deal??? I just did!

    I just lost a deal with a client that produced $700-$1500 per week after expenses. The loss was due to theft. All of their products were stolen, lack of proper security crushed my deal with them.

    That hit me pretty hard NM?



    Make me feel as if I am not alone, feel free to contribute.

    Real estate deal?

    I lost the ability to gain about $2 million on a stock trade in 06, still kicking myself for that one.

    Had about $4k from playing the pennies, and I was choosing my next target. Was down between two choices, I figured both would go up, but alas I dumped it all into the one I thought was going to go up more. However, that one ended up going down, and the other choice ended up going up 40,000% .

    Yea, no kidding. Though 40,000% isn't completely out of the ordinary in penny stock land. There was another one I played that I made a nice profit off of, but if I held longer, it would've done about 400,000%.

    I have one time service clients, and sometimes after the insurance paperwork is through they like to use another company after I worked on their junk for 2 weeks. I get mega pissed.

    No not cshd, though that one was like 20,000% in its heyday. 40,000% = PAIV, can't remember what the ticker is now, and 400,000% was LFZA.
