If you bought in at $5 on the way up, you had a killer investment moment. On the other hand, if you bought it at $5 a year later, your results differed greatly.

Many chose not to take their profits there, others never had a chance to take a profit and many did take profits ...all part of investment decisions made by individuals in real time.

Most adults can take a loss, chalk it up to the market and move along to do battle another day. Others just sit in their stench and blame others.

You and a handful of loud mouths exist in a time warp.

Stocks go up and down for a mulititude of reasons every single day...fortunes are made and lost. It has been this way since day one of the stock market.

Why you can`t move on but choose to wallow in your downward spiral in this particular stock-loss moment-in-time is an amazing waste of time.

Chuckle away...the point of being here is to make money, not push off your poor investment results on others and form a club of angry losers.

I understand my risk and accept full responsibility for it and see no point in defining myself by a stock downturn as a result of the bursting tech bubble, which took many a company down rather unexpectedly.

There are much worse things in life. Losing money in the market at times is a part of the overall experience of being invested in something you hope will appreciate with time.
