Sorry to hear that AAQ is your first ever investemnt and that the administrators have been called. Having been investing for many years everybody, and I mean everybody ( think packer/ murdoch - ONE TEL) suffers this experience at some time during during their investing career. Try to learn from your experience, you will begin to see the warning bells and cut your losses and move on to better investments.
My own poor investments have taught me some very important lessons:
1. Never fall in love with a stock / investment.
2. If you have doubts go with your gut instinct and get out, eveb if it means a loss.
3. Undserstand what you are investing in and understand the risks.
4. Actively follow your investment. Regularly read reports / announcements etc. and this includes comments on forums such as this. There are a lot of rampers on stock forums but there are also a lot of learned investors with valuable comments / opinions.
I hope you regain your losses in your next investment.
