    LVFS havent taken your money. That isnt how investments work. There is a common phrase with all investments. The value of your investment can go down as well as up.

    I suggest you take an interest in the news. Whilst a little on the sensational side, you would have realised that the stockmarkets took a hit last year, the money markets suffered and property is falling fast. It was one of those years where most asset classes and areas of investment fell in value. Why do you think you should be exempt from that?
