Hello All,
I wanted to congratulate middle man first off, because he was able to do today what I couldn't do yesterday. I fought off the panic a few weeks ago, but as a new investor I made the error of giving into emotion yesterday, after reading too many posts Monday night on a site I knew that would probably steer me in the wrong direction. I think I just gave up. The loss of $$ is recoverable, but the way I feel may take some time.
I say all of this for 2 reasons. One is because I have made some friends here I think and I am grateful for what I have learned, even if I just couldn't muster the courage to stick with convictions that I thought I had control over. The second, and more importantly, is to say if anyone is new and just reading different boards, as I did back in March, regardless of what your thoughts are on this stock, if you objectively take a look at what is being said and how it is being said, you should come to a conclusion. One is full of immature, very negative, and most importantly unprofessional people that will wear you down, and even if you know this is the case you just might let it steer you in the wrong direction. Just look at the post it notes and the leaders of your information and you should realize where you are likely to get better information, and more importantly participate in discussions that are respectful.
Yesterday I failed the test. I need to take a break from all of this, as this has been like no other experience I have ever had in investing, and actually just life in general. To all those that have helped me understand how all this works I say thanks again. In a few days maybe I will try a do over. Big A, put me down for a T-shirt, because I don't want to ever forget this experience regardless of what I do in the future. Already having anxiety, (medically speaking), was a handicap for me from the start, but the mental stress of this can not be underestimated if you don't have a game plan ahead of time and stick with it.
Good luck to all. I'm going to dust off my pride and try again after some more reflections.
