I know I made a terrible play, but hindsight is 20/20, and one cannot win them all. I do not worry about spilled milk. That was one of the worst trades I have ever made. I sold at $3.73, so if I had held I would be another dollar down now.

In fact I might buy MMGG here-grin.

I am a terrible trader anyway. My achilles heal. But the sale allowed me to get positioned in other stocks which are doing well. In the long run I did better taking my losses and changing. Selling at $3.73 is better than selling at $2.73.

I do not like to hold losers either or throw good money after bad--not to say MMGG is bad, but it would not have helped me to hold, it looks like from here. I would have probably sold today to buy some nickel stocks anyway if I still had it.

In poker I usually make my decision at the flop if I am going to go forward. I am happy I sold at $3.73 and got repositioned in stocks I like better. At this moment it looks like I cut my loses. I had completely forgotten it until you brought it up.

One cannot win every trade in mining stocks, just as one cannot win every hand in poker. I take my losses and move on. I do not worry about bad trades or bad beats.

As long as I am winning in the long run that is all that counts.

We all do the best we can and that is all we can do.

cheers,
