Thanks for the many replies and condolences 

Its ok i only lost what i could afford , i am not homeless

I looked at what little i knew of market at the time and decided ALT coins
had greater potential , then i discovered TOKENS , that had plans to
be coins , even greater potential was the thought :-)

I was deliberately looking for high risk , high reward , and i took
a decent spread of tokens but many died and i targeted my favourites

I feel theres a chance still some of these tokens still alive might make it in
the apparent upcoming bull run , but rather than have millions of one
token i was thinking it might be better to have a million each of 3 tokens type thing 
spread the chances ....

thanks for the links and info provided i will study in due course
