This post is for the "misery loves company" people. I am in the same boat as you. I did not like participating in the wrong side of history [one of fastest declines ever]. Literally clicked in my $45k order and 30 seconds later watched the express train to hell and 10k drop in value. WOW! But then it could have gone the other way and I'd be a hero. Now I'm stuck mentally writing off my COMS and waiting to see what happens in the next six months. Worst part is that I can't use funds tied up in COMS to invest in my other issue that has gone up 20% in two days :( But, I'm not going to panic sell [which is what MMs want me to do]. I learned my lesson with an Apple margin call about 18 months ago [not sure when it was, just remember the numbers]. Sold 1000 shares at $20 instead of sending more money to maintain margin [at the time Apple then sank to $15]. Now, Apple at $125+. And all they wanted on margin call was $1500. Sigh. Oh well, back to the salt mines so to earn some more money to stupidly toss into the flames. And remember, it's only money and this is all a game. I gotta see if I can get on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
