Very real isn't it. Same boat. Long termers dismay.
Going up is what we dream of. When it does, we display our intent: WE ATTEMPT TO HOLD LONG TERM. We do not sell. Never minding any dip because we are long term...AND IT WILL COME BACK UP.
Either it never does or shit hits the wall (Like LAHO's?). Been there, done that - MANY TIMES.
Trading in stocks become an infatuation rather than a money maker.
Although my habit of treating 'investment' as a part time job, I also take out small gains to pay bills or enjoy something that would not come from my pay alone.
Fact is, I know that the game is to have enough money invested that I achieve the ideal goal of having more money to make more money...knowing that is what it takes, yet never achieving it.
You sound so much like me! Hope LAHO somehow is one of those that actually DOES COME BACK UP!
