RE:I have lost money, but I'm still here!Investing is an emotionless business, if looking makes you feel good or bad, don't look. If you're holding not looking won't matter because you're not selling. Don't get suckered in by anyone who claims to know the future price for a stock, it's rampant on this board and no one knows. Have a plan, stick to it, and you'll make money.

I'm one of those newbies, I sold when it was falling, bought when it was rising, made every mistake every time.
FINALLY I realized I am so out of my league. There is only one plan, and that is HOLD. Stay the course! If I see it falling, I go for a walk. If it is rising, I go for a walk with a smile on my face.
This puppy will take a bit more time to realize gains for me. I totally screwed up in the November charge! Still kick myself for that, but now I'm in, not going anywhere...
Major thanks to the kind ones that give thoughtful insight. Major BOOs to the ones that would try to feed the fear. The one thing I have learned is .... nah, I haven't learned much except for newbies like me... going for a walk works!
