Arch,

The most basic thing an investor needs to learn is that it is OK to make a mistake. It is hard to know when to buy a stock, and even harder to know when to sell one. Once you pull the trigger, go on to the next step. If it turns out you were premature ... or late ... so be it.

If you have the knack for introspection, try to understand what led you astray ... and guard against it next time.

It takes a while to come to grips with the real difficulty in investing (namely, yourself), but it is very rewarding (at least financially) when you do.

You WILL have another opportunity. Running stocks are like streetcars, it is just harder to see them coming.

I hope you don't see these comments as patronizing. They are not intended that way. It's just that I've been there, done that. It is my guess that most of the folks on this board have been there, too.
