"Lets wake up folks--- this is investing! There are great stocks at great prices out there yet our money is tied up here!"
I'm awake JD. I think you need to learn that sometimes you lose money while investing. All of us have, and all of us do at different times.
And all you need to do is pull the trigger on a trade for your shares and you can move on anytime. Please don't feel locked in. You have free choice in this matter.
