I haven't read the replies to this thread, but what you say is pretty much common sense...but it's good to verbalize it occasionally.

However, I do believe that there is some value in venting as long as it doesn't perpetuate your attitude for the worse. Breaks are also of value if your mental state is not in the condition to be in action in the first place; that is, if you're past whatever that personal pain threshold is.

I guess the problem with being human is that what might make perfect logical sense might not matter too much in the present. I suppose that experience breaks through for some eventually. Once you've ride rollercoasters enough, you should eventually get used to varying twists and the turns. Perhaps some people never get used to it, but getting upset, bummed out, etc., losing a few bucks because of downswings does get old. A bad run is a part of gambling after all.

Edit: Didn't realize that was an older post, otherwise I might not have responded. Whoops.
