TITCRcalveless wonder said:whatever you have to convince yourself to believe to justify your actions.
you're obviously smart enough to recognize if someone made it once, they can do it again which is why it didnt affect your decision.
if you evaluate people who have been successful almost all of them had major falls and recovered. such is the way of a successful/driven businessman
most of my friends and sucessful aquaintences have went through this cycle
In fact one of my closest friends(net worth is close to 1 billion) has gained and lost his fortune 7 times
He told me between having money and not having money, he prefers to have money...lol
