You guys don't want to know how much I could've made here but rode down because I "had faith" and believed the hype. I like to tell myself it was because I was new and had a lot going on in my life then. If I had an exit strategy other than 'hold long term and have faith" I would be out of debt with half my mortgage paid off now. Stupid me!
Please learn from my mistakes. I had to chalk it up as a very HARD life lesson learned.
