This investment was a 90 day investment. As with any investment you have to periodically reevaluate it. Those that didn't do their homework lost money. Those that did made money. I made money for 90 days and avoided the losses by not rolling my funds over. @Perpetual Bull – I don’t think there’s anything innately wrong with chasing yield.

Iceland has entirely collapsed, and you've lost about 70% (seventy percent) on your "easy-12%" investment. What's next for you, emerging market bonds? There is no such thing as free money.

I held because it didn't make sense and ignored my own rules. I'm happy to say I've probably traded POT 30-40 times positively. The hits I took at the end were humbling though. Now I'm trading the Volatility Rodeo. @AOD – I got out of my POT and yes I got burned on it. I held because it didn’t make sense and ignored my own rules.

My company is focusing on multifamily to be precise. 12-15% returns there in the South at least. My clients love me. Right now I’m going long income real estate.

It was a short-period of 90 days that made it attractive. Once I cashed out, I reassessed and did not repurchase though the rate was still high at the time. As with any investment you should constantly revisit and reanalyze. Right now I'm holding 100% cash and trading with about 10% of that as I see daytrading opportunities. Can the VIX get any higher?? @Angel,Bob,Spouting Horn – I made money on my Iceland CD’s. It was a short-period of 90 days that made it attractive.
