I don't disagree that equities in the finance sector are volitile, but if that bothers you just invest in another sector or a mutual fund. Anyway, I hope that most of the people here aren't negatively influenced by your scare tactics.  If they read the link, perhaps it will be come obvious that your mistake has been made before.[/QUOTE]
