A sad day indeed. I have seen my investment diminish considerably also, but I too will stay the course. This will take years to play out. We are only in the bottom of the 5th inning.
My son lives in Dallas. Makes computer/phone aps. He says Dallas is expanding extremely fast. His wife was recently hired working for a consulting firm that is involved in the current expansion of the highway system around Dallas. She is amazed at how much work is being planned and in what is ongoing.
