1. Why are you still mourning YC'14?
2. Why are you asking for uninformed advice on a public forum?
In situations like these, I like the Mathew Looks rule.
Mathew was a USCF expert on my high school chess team, trying to teach me to be a better player. He set up a chess position with chances for both sides, and asked which side I liked better. "I have no idea," I replied. "That's why you lose. It doesn't matter whether you're right or wrong. It matters that you have an opinion."
Form your own opinion about this situation. Like it. Feel confident about it. Then follow through, as well you can.
It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. It matters what you think.

I have my own opinion but opinions are usually just that. Opinions formed through ignorance when there are market participants willing to provide insight in order to help me better prepare for what's to come is a naive way to attack this problem. I simply asked for advice. Insight. I know when to pull the trigger and know how to pull it. I just want to know before I pull the trigger, do I have as much information to form my own opinion. When you don't know enough to even form you own opinion, then what good does going with instinct do?
