5 Days of Hell!

This is my first post of what I anticipate to be many more to come. I plan to use this blog to document my road to recovery...at least I hope it's to recovery. It's been 5 days now since I discovered that I had lost close to $200K of my hard-earned money in what appears to be a ponzi scam run by Razor FX, a so-called investment firm based out of New York. Early reports claim the scheme bilked close to $68 million out of hundreds of investors so I know I am not alone in my suffering.

I hope that over time this blog will morph into one of the millions of other blogs filled with witty renditions of the lives of ordinary Americans, as I get my life back on track, but I expect the first few months may be considered quite depressing to a number of readers.

In the end I am determined not to let this destroy me. I am dedicated to proving to my family that we can survive this and get on with our lives. It will be a tough ride, but with the help of friends and family, we can all get through this together.

Please follow along with me on my journey.

Regards,
The Foolish Investor
