Excellent Terry...I am printing that out and will think long and hard about it. Something funny though: from being a multimillionaire for 5 months and losing almost all of it I have had to face myself as a person...and it's been fascinating. I hated the painful lesson but apparently to become "a better me" I needed a tough lesson, since I refused to learn with milder means. Every day I'm more ok with it.
I am definitely a risk taker, and will be so again. I don't know if I'll ever be a multimillionaire again because Qcom was something else (I had so much of it I made $1 million the day it went up 156!) But with a good plan that I stick to I'll be fine.
I have NO long term portfolio at present (except maybe the MO I just bought): most of mine were tech and I finally got scared out of all of them. Thank you so much for your posts:I have needed a lot of comforting from my in person friends and cyber friends to get over the depression I've been in, but I'm ready to appreciate the character building I've just been through and to start being a successful investor (again).
