I don't mean this as a jab, but have you ever compared your overall gains with the s&p over the same period? unless you're really smart/lucky, it's probably not

I don't mean this as a jab, but have you ever compared your overall gains with the s&p over the same period? unless you're really smart/lucky, it's probably not worth the stress. I also "lost" a lot of money this week, but I'm not leveraged and I have positive monthly cashflow, so it's no big deal. I just bought a little more of my favorite broad market etf than usual and went back to my life.
