RE:RE:RE:RE:Calm down folks!Yeah, no I feel that, and can definitely share your sentiment. I think that investment is a very emotional game, and most people react emotionally, which is why you see runoff effects. It's also psychologically much more traumatic to lose money than it is rewarding to make it. I think people can post when they are upset, but if you post you should expect people to try to convince you otherwise :).
Regarding being a whole year in the red, I definitely agree. You could have invested somewhere else and made money instead of waiting here and watching your investment oscilate. You also could have sold at every peak and bought at every low, but it's very hard to time those things, and it's very hard to know when something is going to take off. No use being upset about what's done. You have the choice of calling it quits or waiting it out. To be honest I did the same thing, I bought AMD at 12 USD, waited for a year and half watched it go up and down. It drove me crazy, you lose thousands in a single day and gain it back two weeks later. I stuck it out because I knew that they had a good product, that intel would have manufacturing issues, and that when they started seeing market share gains the growth would be massive. A year and a half later, I sold and In the end made money, so yes, I could have taken my money out, put it somewhere else while AMD floundered for a year and half, but then again, I also could have missed the rise when results did come.
