The loss in the last 3 months has to hurt.

I'm assuming you are not one of those who bought in 1985 and have held on to their shares ;-)

Of course it hurts, sort of like a splinter.

I'm used to it. In for the long haul when it went down to 80 it hurt a lot worse. That's what you get paid for as an investor after all, worry, etc. Investors don't really create anything.

I think a few people here bought on that dip to 80. I wish I could find a hundred stocks that hurt this much. I also wish I knew how to play it a little better, as several people here have made a lot of money buying on dips.

In any investment one has to be happy to be ahead of inflation or interest. If you are unhappy because you didn't buy at the absolute low or sell at the absolute high you are just going to be an unhappy person. That's pretty useless.

I'm just glad I didn't listen to a lot of "experts" that have come and gone on this forum. I would have lost my ass.
