John, you have it backwards. The ones of us who have been through the highs and lows aren't, by definition, 'emotionally attached.' We are what is called LONG-TERM INVERSTORS. As opposed to those who are emotionally involved, or choose to day=trade. I've held atml since 93, but I've held GE longer, and T for 12 years, etc, etc...and I seriously doubt that they are a part of my emotional make-up. Small cap risks like PFTI are emotional risks...like Vegas. So was CUST...and I got out too cheap...but very clean. Yes, good thing you sold. Don't buy back until you can reallllllly, honestly be detached. That means you don't have to check the price daily, much less 5 times a day. I leave and travel for up to 6 weeks at a time...and in places I couldn't ck if I wanted. But, why run (or ruin) your life like that??? Dont' worry, be Happy!
