Andrew,

FWIW, I lost ~50% from the highs of last August and it has hurt, a helluva lot. In dollar amounts and % amounts, I lost more than this gent. Not something to be proud of. It's Just nice to know you can survive a trial by fire. But I am in this sector b/c I believe the upside potential is enormous over the coming years and have never vacillated in my investments.

In this sector it's best to just Buy the ticket and go for the ride. Watching your investments on a constant basis is enough to drive one mad.

BTW, with margin, from peak to trough I've lost more than 50%, with some margin calls along the way. I do feel his pain; He just got in at the worst possible moment.
