Well, as a newbie to the investing / trading game - with A2 as my first big play 10 weeks ago - I can tell you my stomach has endured a LOT. But, I haven't been shaken out. I'm in too deep now, lol. I had considered what you've been doing, but every time I think we've hit near the bottom, down we go further.
Overall, I'm framing this as a very valuable learning experience. I hope having to endure this and learn from some classic newbie mistakes will benefit me in the long run. I had hoped to at least break even by the end of the year, but that's looking increasingly unlikely.
