Don't celebrate too soon, today gains might as well be the start of a bear trap.
I'm still at loss so far, but doesn't really matter to me. I'm in for the long run. I'll check back in a year or two.
Tried trading in the beginning, but the market is so incredibly volatile, unless you have time to spend 24 hours a day behind a computer and keep checking the charts, it's very likely you'll get burned. Managed to get a small profit in the end, but wasn't worth the time and hassle.
