It seems every time I find something that looks promising, I'm just a sucker waiting to give someone else a payout. I have been following advice a gentleman offered to "hodl" my bitcoin, from $984 all the way down to now $436. I've just been fooling myself, telling myself "Don't worry hon, it will go back up! It always has!" I've been spending my time reading the forums and hoping. My friends called me crazy when I told them it's a sure thing. The shame is just as bad as the lost money. So I quit. You guys win. Coins sold. 
Right, it turns out that 984 was pretty close to the global high, that doesn't mean there isn't a new global high coming. I considered selling when we hit that price, but I only have a small amount so I figure I'll hang on for the long term and see what happens. Sorry for your loss, hope you had a fun/educational time.
