Gone "to SHIT"???
A few things:
1) VPLM hasn't gone to shit, unless one's "shit threshold" is very low!!
VPLM moves up and down; high of $.45, low in recent times of $.006. Of that range you are sitting good.
2) Too many, in my view, want to trade and think it is easy! If it were easy, everyone would be rich!
3) A some point during my 14 years as a broker, I came up with the 'DeerBalls Maxim': "When DeerBalls is buying/selling, DeerBalls always assumes the person on the other side of the trade knows more than him"!
4) The value in VPLM is not in a 50%/100% trade, it's in being around for the 2000%/5000%/10000%...but, people do as they will.
5) I trade only about 5% of my total position, if I trade at all. Haven't in the past few weeks.
Good luck, there will be ups/downs, the trick is not getting emotional about them!!
