I'm enjoying the various approaches to trading and the stories that ring so true to me, especially those who describe this experience as a "rollercoaster."
There have been days when I've been dancing around the living room thinking about how CUU has put me in a better financial position and there's more to come.
Then there have been days when the s/p is deep in the red and reports of Europe on the brink of collapse and I wonder, "how much longer until this story plays out???"
I take my hat off to those of you who got in back in '06-'08. Wow. You've shown incredible patience and, yes, it would have been wise to load up at 5-10 cents but that's the true challenge of investing -- steeling your nerves when the chips are down. It's much easier said than done!
Anyway, let's hope it's a smooth ride to the finish line (although it's never that simple, is it?). No matter, our day is coming, we can all be sure of that.
Keep the stories coming. I feel a real sense of community here. Investing is only one aspect of our lives, but it's one that can improve our lot in a number of ways.
