Jim, Jim, Jim...(shaking my head)You took your house fund money and plowed it into a stock on the advice of a friend without any knowledge of the stock? I find that very hard to believe. You're probably a fairly knowledgeable person who took some loose cash and decided to take a flyer. You got bored and decided to log on and ask a stupid question.
But, on the odd chance that you did that, if you're lucky enough to turn a profit on this equity take the proceeds and invest in a good therapist ... and buy the house after they cure you.
