Well, when I said my stock was up 33% last year, I was mistaken because it was actually down 20% by the end of the afternoon.
What a rollercoaster ride this company has been on, and I’m beginning to feel like I’m on a ship that’s sinking now, even though I need to just keep riding it and see what happens because I want to try to recover what I lost.
Even though I won’t invest any more money in it because if I do, I won’t have a dime to my name, it is now all or nothing. I earned that money over the course of my 25-year career in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning repair industries, and I invested it in stocks when I thought the time was right. However, my heating company Dad was right when she advised me to keep the money in the bank. It was $100K when I bought the shares at $10 each a year ago, and it is now only about 20 cents a share. Fortunately, the nearby supplier where I work keeps me busy; otherwise, I would be knocking on people’s doors and asking to clean their HEPA filters and air ducts. The fact that I am not the only one experiencing a loss and that the world’s financial situation appears to be stable doesn’t help me feel any better about my losses, though. According to what the cooling representative told me, you should just keep moving forward because money changes frequently in our lives and everything happens for a reason.
