It doesn't matter. Even if he has some super secret inside info, you sell your shares to him for $4000 and buy 100 shares from the market for $2001.

my Q is how did you lose 80% to start off with and not cover n00b

you should have cut your losses long ago.

I say sell but you rode it out this long , it doesn't matter what you do rly
you might as well keep beating that dead horse

[howzit]

you (stock owner) need to buy lots more shares at $20.
this will cost-average you down.
by my calcs, buying 300 shares at $20 will give you $40/avg price per share.

then she will have broken even with the man in the top coat. no risk!

PS: if she wanted to make more money, she should buy all shares available at $20. then when the shares go back to the original $100 stock price that she got in at, she will have made 5x as much!

OP -

Yes, your gf is a retard. She's even worse than a clueless blond. A clueless blond would just be like "lol stocks are hard i dont do those", but your gf is spewing retardation and actively believes she is right. This is FAR worse. If she is hot or good in bed, continue to take your bounty for a few more months, then leave. hit it and run so to speak. I can't imagine respecting anyone who can't understand things like this, and if she aint hot and rich i wouldn't give her the time of day.

Of course if she is hot and rich, marry her and hang tight for like 2 years, put up with retardation for good sex, divorce 2 years later FTW. Make some joke about her market value going down and how she'll never sell at the price she was at before when you tell her. loooooooool

I have asked a lot of my other friends and, although they aren't so dumb as to refuse the offer, they also hold on to this "Don't sell stocks at a loss" thinking. So I'm inclined to think that either

1) The sunk cost fallacy is a really common thing, or
2) My friends are dumb

Which is the case?
