Psyman,
I like that advice "When you fall, be sure to pick something up." - that's how I was raised, and I might add that I was told to "Grab something that is hard on the way up, even if it's only your Fist".
I take exceptions to people who are supposed to be Longs, who talk about selling, and predicting the stock price going down like "Das Boot".
Sometimes you have to "Stand and Fight" for what you believe in, and Emotions and Passions are all part of it!
Best Regards,
Cool Hand
