    Perhaps you are right, some deep breaths and long term thinking and planning required. I am 41% cash and in no hurry to put any of it to work at present.

Nothing fundamentally has changed about the growth story and the PE is very reasonable for a company that just increased its profits by close to 90% and has a clearly articulated long term growth story ahead.
    Yup, I've taken a deep breath and reminded myself of the same. An excellent reminder why NOT to look at long term shares on a daily basis.

    Seriously, I went three months without looking at shares during my darkest time. I didn't look at news, told my family and friends I didn't want any updates etc. It was December 2013 to February 2014. It was the best thing I could have done. Checking shares daily is draining and its not like it changes anything. I still do it compulsively at the moment, however.

    Death by a thousand cuts is a good description.

    One last thing, Jack Bogle said in an interview once that as investors there are times that we have to "take our lumps". I track my net worth every month and have been doing so to the nearest dollar over a nearly 10 year period. The drama in the chart!! Plenty of lumps but over the 10 years it moves upwards and to the right as you would hope. Over a single month? All hell can break loose.

    Investors don't need to check shares daily but traders need to check them by the minute.

    Strong finish to day ......up 3.5% from the lows of the day

    That’s a good positive sign

    No worries
