In my defense of the plan - I do have real estate

In my defense of the plan - I do have real estate holdings that would cover any of those potential losses but then again - who wants to lose anything - I do appreciate the advice and most likely will heed it. I am currently looking for some alternatives in the 4 to 6% range and trying to collect on some receivables - it is mostly b/c of the current price. If we were at .07 and I had the funds currently available I would probably buy. But I do hear you that there is a point where a 400 foot home run is not that much less gratifying than the 525 foot bomb.
Part of the reason for the post was to hear that it was a little too crazy!! (but like you said - I accept your apology in advance when this hits)
