(In full disclosure, Im NOT a ecommerce guy, rather a technologist - but I do know enough about the back-end systems to understand that erent had nothing in house... they were completely 3rd party vendors for everything and when one of those 3rd parties had an issue the entire house of cards collapsed)Don't have any answers on your out-of-pocket loss other than condolences...

If the deal collapses and I would lose everything, I'm out.

mhmm very interesting i can not speak for the country as a whole but i know that the other day i saw a report on cbbc about warning signs of another collapse in housing because miami phoenix and riverside ca are all very hot now with high prices etc... they also said houston and denver are also high but they are explainably high because of recent local growths in the economies based on small business growth etc.... the warning factor was that it was what happened before the last collapse phoenix miami and riverside were all hit the hardest during the collapse because they had an unnecessary inflation in home values that wasn't backed up by any actually growth spurts in the economy...now i know i may sound like a fool regurgitating cnbc but i watch every day that the NYSE is open for business and a lot of the things they say are BS but than again a lot of it is often pretty acurate and yea if i could go back to when i first moved to tucson (2009ish i think) i would have bought a few 15k houses on the south side because now there all going for 90k move in ready or even 35-40k still needing a bunch of work and people are buying them...

Dollar Collapse Could Occur at Any Time

We're more likely to see a correction in different sectors.Pay attention to Jim Rogers but be prepared to take advantage of market collapses rather than being paralyzed by fear.

I walk into the kitchen, and a lady was in there, she went pale white in the face, she totally fell backwards and collapsed on to the kitchen floor hitting the stove and shelving.Not only did I scare her, she had a medical condition.
