Hi Couta......just being reading thru all the advice and comments on your dilemma........most of us here understand and have experienced where you are sitting at the moment .....it's not a nice place to be and my heart goes out to you. The game we play is a dangerous one.....we are totally at the mercy of the traders, perceptions, whims, B****e, traders (night and day), market sentiment, profit downgrades/upgrades etc etc... In essence we have almost zero control on our investments. To this degree I personally treat the sharemarket with the disrepect it deserves..........I treat it as a dangerous game. I dont believe it should be like this, but the chances of getting "burnt" are very high in my opinion.
The only advice I can offer you is this........have you thought about declaring yourself to IRD as a trader and thus you can claim your losses (shud you decide to take them), declare your profits (have you made any?) ,........and then move on. Just a thought. You might find this approach offers some degree of comfort so you can change tack in regards your investments....and remember......." NEVER LOOK BACK, YOU'LL ONLY GET A SORE NECK"!!
