Back in early July 2011 I bought in with $10k at around $14.20. That was down from $17 so I thought I got a bargain.
It has been a long rough year since.
In my attempt to try to "get my money back", I got Zhoutgouned for most of it around the $4 mark.
Wish I had my original amount still in BTC.
As they say, you haven't lost money until you cash out at a loss.
I had a very long position too, seeing the worth halve, then after many months, it finally hit the old value, and doubled as well. I just figured I'd wait and stay in.
Nobody can foresee the future, so maybe even those buying in at 31ish can turn a profit if they wait long enough.
