<p>[QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1261940, member: 23626"]Man, if I were to do that, I would make myself crazy. I have sold $750 gold for $300 and $20 Silver for $7. Silver proof sets for much less than today's melt, etc. Hey, once the deal is done, it's finished ! Over ! Done ! Keep records for the tax man, and maybe to see what mistakes you have made......but NEVER look backward with regret ! The way I see it is: You make the best possible decision based on the knowledge of circumstances you have. If it works, you win, and sometimes you are gonna lose. But the past has gone, today is happening now and tomorrow is not guaranteed. Let that go.</p><p><br /></p><p>Psychologically, the brain tells you a "loss" is a mistake. Our brains are configured to correct our mistakes. That's why people "chase" their losses. They are trying to correct the mistake that caused them to lose money. The Casino giants feed on this.
