I feel Sunday morning sour grapes too. Am working on it. For me, with anything that rumminates in my brain and I begin to have a hard time to to get anywhere and feel stuck, I try to make a plan, and I start to write it down in longhand. At 70, I didn't buy NOT for myself, but for my daughter. Over the years, through averaging down, I found that I had accumulated a lot more than good necessarily for my daughter.

I started to try to work at the red thanks to a few knowledgeable people on this board, and you all know who you are. It has made me feel better, and helped with the red.

I also moved away a bit from the dream and found the reality of the stock (what is there and possibly what more is there) helped me to stay positive and realistic.

I also got an education through this board as to how this stock possibly has been manipulated and why.

And, finally the realization that I may very well get screwed. It was kind of like a grieving process all mixed up with every realization, anger, denial, bargaining, depression and acceptance. As well, it was running parallel in my own personal life.

The writing down has helped me. And, I am now again writing down, a lot of it based on the recent postings by the few.

In the end, that is why this board is important. No one makes your decisions, but it sure helps to have other's input. In other words, advice is good, even if you don't follow it, or because your situation is different....but it does show you different ways to think and approach a problem.

All that being said, we can all protect ourselves in our own way a bit. I lean to the gamble that I am positioning myself so that I will get out of this without getting skinned alive, and if lucky, a nice windfall for my daughter which is what this stock really was about for me from the beginning.

Good luck to all in your decision making in the next while. And, put a copy of the 'Doom Chart' on your fridge......:).
