That sucks, man. If it makes you feel any better, I threw away over $40K on a penny-stock that I was high on by the name of "Winning Brands", about 5 to 7 years ago. I still feel some pain thinking about it and what I could have better done with that money.

Talk about an idiot! But life goes on, as Tupac would say (..I want to throw a happy emoji here, but it feels inappropriate at the moment).

My advice is to make the best of the situation - learn your lesson and be more careful in the future. We can all be idiots at times, but it's only the insane that keep making the same mistakes over and over.
