OK, first let me thank everyone who responded.

Reading the responses, if there is one thing I was reminded of, it's my faith in this technology. Every coin I'm holding, I purchased not because I saw a quick buck, but due to the fundamentals/strong dev/good concept/etc. It's just hard as hell for me to watch my portfolio drop by two weeks worth of work at my day job every time I check it. My stomach isn't strong enough for that nonsense. You veteran permahodlers have my deepest respect...

Twas but a moment of weakness. It's passed now.

"What do you think about your question? You already had your answer. "

You're 100% right. This did a better job of putting things in perspective than I can say. Thanks!

...and now that that's done, embarrassment aside, I must admit I'm thrilled I went seeking out a place to placate my frightened mind as this seems to be a great community. Came for the reassurance, think I'll stay for the knowledge. Thanks!
