Rocket... Great question. I think for me, it was, or shall I say.....
Greed. My account went from months sitting @ 50-60k. Down for months 40-50k. No funds for the last 2 months to average in @ the low,low,low. When it happened, I went from 60k Friday morning to a close @ over 90k. That was the start. Monday well into the 100's. I think about 2-3 weeks into the run...sitting @200-300k. I had finally made it.(so I thought) Rocket. In my life that was the quickest I had tacked on a quarter mil to my account in 3 weeks time, and damit I was going for a million.
The last week before doomsday, my account was a steady 350+ .
To prove my greed theory, I wasn't selling one single dam share.
It just didn't matter. I was Known in my own mind as the founder of XKEM to all friends and family. The day wepeaked and crashed, it came as such a shock, I was in disbelief. For the next several weeks, everyday I watched in horror, knowing full well that....
This is the day we turn. It never came. When all said and done, I knew at that time it was more than likely going to get worse before it got better. By June first I was out completely, most @ .0315-25. The remaining @ .0270-80. After that, there was one more run into early to mid 3's. From there thats all she wrote. Moral of the story lesson of a life time learned in 3-4 weeks time. I had totally thrown all logic out the window from the moment we starte our initial run. Never again.
