This is do-it-yourself investing 101– up and down, hoping for gains, cringing at losses, and controlling emotions. We'd rather be up 4% going into week three, but we/re down 3.2% Temporarily off track.

Such is life, business, and pleasure. The course that you set out to get to the end takes a few detours. What matters is that you take the detours and get to where you need to be.

You have to analyze the facts, and leave the emotions on the side.
