Yes, there should almost be a sticky post with a little warning to newbies that it can be unpredictable, volatile, frustrating, scary, and down right fun.  I wish I would have known these things when I was new, but I quickly googled.  When I first bought there was a dramatic drop afterward and I certainly questioned everything.  But after that drop the price went up 60%.  I almost sold everything.  Thankfully I googled a lot and found Reddit and this forum to calm my fears.
