Default Shares, my losses today

Damm American politicians, bankers, debtors and all.

Today you have cost me £248.00. That is my highest one day battering. I only have a few shares. As a one day loss it hurts. I could have had one heck of a drink for that.

Nor does Timwilky now

Only gamble with what you can afford to loose, and the stock market is a gamble unless you have inside knowledge* (which isn't legal).
I closed my trading account, for this reason (and the fact im no good at it).

*Yes, you can have strategies, profit points, Fibonacci re-tracement numbers, etc but at the end of the day if you get a change in sentiment in the market and anything could happen.

Well if I say HBOS and B&B you might guess my losses exceed yours,but sinse I never actually paid any money for my shares I dont see it as a loss.Just a free punt that never came off.The masters of the universe will never let the small investor win.

I have a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel....

The org has... what... around five hundred active / semi active members?

If we all look down the back of the sofa tonight, and each of us find a quid in loose change, well, I reckon we might be able to buy our very own bank
