New I can honestly say
that I have no idea what to do. I am totally baffled here. All I ever seem to do is just lose money. I can't seem to get another job right now, not even a low paying one. Everything is stacked against me.
I am free now, to choose my own destiny.

I am not suprised. I have a pretty good idea what is wrong as well. But I don't know how to communicate that.

that I am better off not investing money right now, the only real payoff would be me committing suicide and my wife collecting on the insurance money. Everything else appears to be one big scam and/or a black hole that just sucks in money.

I have no idea what to do about my financial situation, it keeps getting worse. No job, investings all going bad, about to lose my house, etc. I just have the most rotten luck of anyone I know.

Meanwhile some 18 year old kid starts a rumor on a Yahoo Message board and then dumps his stock in the company when the price goes up due to the rumor. They appear to be the only ones making money.
