It always hurts to take those loses. My sympathies to you. I'm okay, but I'd be a lot wealthier if I admitted defeat over 38 years of holding on to my losers too long, like SUNW or even (blush) WCOM. Others I care not to remember, in biotechs. I've waited for LUV (Southwest airlines) to go on a run or get scooped up, for almost 15 years. I have only had one loser among many notable winners on the short side, I think it was a Wexler or Mr. Pink pick to short IBM maybe 10 years ago.. There is a lesson here somewhere.
