I think that most of us who have only been around 6-9 months have gained a lot, lost a lot, and broke even. The good thing about this board is you can find a lot of info here that will either encourage you or perhaps make you want to invest elsewhere.

IMO things are falling in place now. I think we have weathered the storm. However, many people want to see immediate results in the pps, which simply isn't going to happen overnight.

IF you are in for the long haul, you should be really enthusiastic right now.
If you are discouraged by the pps moving up/down by a penny you may not be a "long" as you think.
