So you bought stock on the recommendation of the company you were investing in and lost money because they were lying.

But were you required to hold the stock? And were you locked in? I have heard all kinds of stories about people not being allowed to sell.

I hope it wasn't an asset that was anywhere near your sole holding.

No, I wasn't required to hold the stock.

And by the time the crap hit the fan, it was too late.

I'm not even counting stock options in the 40K. I should be a millionaire right now if that were the case.

And no, it wasn't my entire portfolio. Just a good chunk of it.
