We all know we've taken a beating with CUU, but we still expect to recover.

There was a refreshing post from Accountant007 the other day where he admitted he's also been left smarting from his experience with Catalyst Copper.

I've taken losses elsewhere as well, and a bunch of stocks I follow have really been crushed over the past few years, to the point where some of them may not exist in another year.

Granted that watch list is made up primarily of junior resource companies and the sector continues to limp along, but there were/are some excellent properties in that mix -- some of them I figured would have been a fine place to park my CUU profits someday.

I guess it's because it's been such a poor run for so long now but I'm really questioning whether I should continue to pick ponies on the TSX or TSX Venture when I cash out of CUU after years and years of being underwater in this "sure thing" of an investment.

Is anyone else feeling that way, like it's more of a fool's game than it is a productive way to try to inflate one's net worth?
