Great lesson....unfortunately....especially when we are younger....we panic sell things since we don't have a history of having lived through all the cycles in all types investments....people have made millions in stocks....real estate etc. and lost millions as well...no investment is guaranteed....you need to just believe in its long term possibilities to hang in there regardless.....
I think its still worth having as part of an investment portfolio regardless of current price....but that's just my opinion....
I agree with you mate @bobreedo
