Profits are still great right now compared to where they were a few months ago. The situation isnt that bad. I would again advise people to not go into debt to get into mining or any other investment that is volatile. Its a recipe for disaster.  If you dont have the funds that you could lose and not be fine then you are placing yourself and your family if you have one in a potentially awful situation.  Its fun to chase the money but dont overextend yourself as things like this or worse can happen at anytime.
