"When I look at what I could spend each year from now on, and compare it to my income and worries of 7 years ago, it is mind boggling! "

i can relate to this very well. although my timeline is only 5 months ago. in june of 98 i sold my company that i started 24yrs ago at the age of 18 to a consolidator for stock.
in june of this year when the 1 yr. restriction was lifted my stock was worth exactly half. major depression. three weeks ago it got cut in half again. suicidal depression.
just out of sheer luck a friend of mine mentioned the richest guy in our town put everything he owned into Q and was making a pharoah's fortune. luckily without even knowing what cdma stood for i bought 4000 shares at the beginning of july and have since added another 1000.
where i once thought that everything i worked for was dn the drain, today i sit here with renewed confidence that everything will work out, especially with the great advice and help from everyone on this board. my deepest thanks for your sharing. i never believed a word i read on any message boards until si, it didn't take me long to realize you guys are much much different. i would have sold if it weren't for the info and knowledge i got from you guys. the Q has made almost half my losses back in less then 6 mths. i still have half of my company stock that i am trying to build up the emotional courage to sell and put into the Q. tough to swallow the loss after 24 yrs of sacrifice and hard work.
i know i should do it, have to do it, just can't pull the trigger. but i will and 1 yr from now i know i will be way to the plus side of the equation. all i have to do is tag along for the ride with everybody here.

thank you thank you thank you to all.
time to leave the monitor and go live a little.
