Investment in a company...

Any investment in any company is equal to an investment in a poker game, or any other game of chance to be found at any major casino. It is playing the lottery. It is buying your cards and hoping you'll have a chance to scream "bingo" in the near future.

Buying stock is lending money. If you can't afford to lose it, don't do it.

Investors take the same risks the owner of a private company does. Customers come first - without them, you have not business. Employees come second - without them, you cannot service the customer, and have no business. The health of the company comes third - pretty self explanatory. And, bringing up a distant last is the owner, or investors.

Putting the owners or investors first, or even second, is a guaranteed method of creating greater losses, if not complete insolvency and liquidation.

Modern investors are among the top five things gone terribly wrong in the U.S. today. This isn't "Wall Street", and you're not Gordon Gekko, and greed isn't good. Get over it. You chose to dance, now whine when the piper demands his due.
