I HOPE I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING

RAL / SLG

I have not ventured out for a few days. It is so painful and difficult to endure the relentless fall in the oil patch and I lost my interests, motivation and self-confidence. The best plan will not be successful unless properly executed. I have a reasonably good plan, and part of that is to get out most of the positions in the oil patch before spring. Unfortunately, the plan was very poorly executed and I end up with still way too many positions in the oil patch. Moreover, positions in other areas did not help at all. I feel amateurish, particularly in terms of selling and taking profits, although I certain had made a great deal of effort this year. Still, the most difficult I continue to feel is how to deal with the situation where the market is falling. Should I get out and step aside completely or should I tough it up here. I wish I know how pros deal with such situation.

Add some RAL / SLG here, probably not the most prudent moves.
