EZ, good thoughts, well expressed. Your sentiments sum up nicely the choices investors have. Even though I entered HRCT with a December of 2002 as a time to re-evaluate my investment, I too get weary at times of looking at my portfolio which is at a level not seen in 15 years. But, Lord-willing, I don't need my retirement money right now, so I fall into that category of investors who can wait for the fruit to ripen.
That said, I empathize with those who are in the other category. However, those posters like Feng who are always upbeat about the future serve to encourage those of us who are truly longs for life is mostly about attitude.
