We all know what you are saying and your feelings. Even down 75%, even taking a loss that great, it is often tempting to me to get what little I can out of my shares and invest in one or more of the gold companies that have released great drill results and who keep the news flowing with more seasoned management (I only say that because until you have proven a property up which we have not yet done you still have to prove you can do it). I know a whale of a lot more about what to look for in a junior gold exploration company now than I did last June when I first bought in.

All of that said wouldn't it be a shame if I did that and then the Tesoro is proven out and I am left with nothing after going through all of this? There is agony in holding this stock right now, there is no doubt about that. My wife has no idea how much we have lost (of course you have not actually lost a penny until you hit the sell button) but it is on my mind constantly. How could I do this to her? Was it foolish for her to trust me her own husband? What kind of a man am I?

We say time will tell and so it will. I tell myself it is only money and try and convince myself. Hyperman, you have plenty of company but lets keep hanging on just as long as we can possibly bear it even if we have to grit our teeth everyday to do so.
