Oldham, I have been in the red since I started in October. Well almost, my first 3 picks (my own) were winners and I thought, how hard can this be...

I got "spanked" to the tune of 60% down in my portfolio. As far as the "learning the ropes" go, I'll show you the ropes burns anytime! I feel you Bro!

I've since clawed my way back up to being a little less than 10% down now. Also, I'm still not using margin, however weigh out the pros and cons and make up your own mind. Clay does bring up a good point though.

Like Chart says, it's not a race. Fact is, it feels more like a minefield sometimes. We need to learn to take the "next step" when we are comfortable with placing it there! JMHO
