I, too, feel your pain, but if your accounts are like my accounts, and it sounds as if they might be, what is the point of selling for pennies on the dollar? They’re not worth selling. I’m with Mr. Copper when he says wait for the new highs. They’re bound to come eventually, and if they don’t, you’re no worse off than you are now; they can’t go much lower! The hope is at least some of them will come back and make you whole. Maybe even better than whole. That’s my strategy, anyway. I’ve already written them off as a loss in my mind and my planning; anything I re-coup in a metals rally will be icing on my cake. A stock is not a loss until you sell it; do that and you’ve locked it in for good. I’m too stubborn for that, given my belief that I was right about buying them in the first place. I believed there was a failing financial system then (around 2000), and I believe it now. I believed in real money and the companies that produced it then, and I believe it now. My heirs can sell my stocks if they want when I’m gone; I’m holding.
