I know this may sound a little old-fashioned, but perhaps she could have tried to increase her savings during the 4 years between contract exchange and completion.

No win situation. That's parasetic behaviour, that saving lark.

She took a chance and lost. I feel a small amount of sympathy because almost all financial decisions have an element of luck in them.

I certainly don't agree with taking satisfaction from someone losing what no doubt is a significant amount of money to them.

I feel sorry for her, because I don't think it's true that she is a 'stupid biatch' or necessarily any more greedy than any other member of the board. British people have an odd attitude towards people who are trying to improve their life.

I don't feel sorry for her. Because if I made an investment, got it wrong and ended up losing out, I'd have the decency not to suggest it's the law's fault.

I'm all for people trying to improve their lives. If they do it in uninformed, stupid, ways then I don't want to hear their sob stories is all.
