As for your 50% gains turning into 50% losses, I am
convinced, from reading all your posts for the past
couple of years, that you are fully capable of turning
those losses back into gains. I also believe that each
of us would rarely lose on trades if we stuck to our
intellectual approaches to trading. Unfortunately,
all of us sometimes get emotional and that is what
screws us up.

As hard as it is to do, when I screw up, I analyze
what I did wrong but, otherwise, I look forward instead
of backward. If I lose confidence, I paper trade for
a week or two without doing any real trading. Also,
I paper trade stocks even when I am trading other stocks.

I don't know if any of this helps or not, but am
confident that you'll recover from this.

At any rate, keep posting. Your thoughts are valuable
to all of us.

Tom
