but true. John Embry and 'Jesse' (as follows) remind us to stay the course:

"As I have repeatedly said here, take your investment positions based on logic and the fundamentals and a long term financial portfolio plan, and ignore the short term noise and wiggles. Thinking back I have always made the most, if not all the profits on balance, when I took a solid position and then just rode it, sometimes for years. So if I were in the game of mining stocks I would not want to see people distracted from them IF they were in it for the long term and they were properly fit in a portfolio."

I do have trouble with 'logic' at times depending on the vicissitudes in my financial volitility...but I prefer the lower cost of a root canal witout the anaesthetic...knowing that one day, I will be able to afford 'pain management'.
