Nols,

This is going to be the best thing that ever happened to you. Arn't you an actor? Now, you are perfectly set up to play a downtrodden investor who loses complete control and goes postal at the NYSE.

Remember the Anger. Feel it burn and then USE it...

This could also work for hemmeroid commercials. Feel the pain in the ass that this has all caused you. Feel the burn!!!

btw, I also own Yamana. I do feel pretty stupid when I look at all the money I've lost this year but does that do me any good. We all really have to avoid such self negativity. It's not our fault that we got caught up in the PM game and bought into all the theory that goes along with it. We may yet look like geniuses.

One thing I am considering though is that if I ever make some of the losses up I'm not going to play things so one sided. I now understand the argument for diversity.

Also, I'm going to consider other strategies for wealth protection. Gold is not the only safe haven out there and thus far hasn't proven all that an effective one for me.
