    Man i got to stop watching this. It's gonna make me go get a bottle of bourbon. I bought the majority between 1.56 and 1.59 with only a few at 1.60. It just hit 1.68. I could sell now and clear almost 1500 dollars. And i really really want another pete. I've wanted another pete since i watched mine pull out of the driveway over 10 years ago.

    If you got the stomach for it. Which i really don't. This is extremely nerve wracking. On one hand i can sell and in a matter of 3.5 hours make more money than 80% of our population makes in a full 60 hour work week. On the other hand i can let it ride and if it goes back to 2015 prices in the next 5 to 10 years my retirement is fully funded before I'm 50, but that carries the risk of losing my future toy/project truck, and i can't begin to fully express just how bad i want to build another pete.

    Edit to add:For those following my gut wrenching ride we are back up to 1.80

    I chickened out on clicking confirm on open, but plugged in 10k short @ 1.65 on my watch list just to see what I missed out/avoided lol. I could have BTC for $500 a few times, but sitting flat to down $2000 most of the morning. No big news today, light trading, and it's pretty much just following the market.

    It peaked at 1.85 while i was chaining down and not watching it. Good thing to cause id have been tempted to dump it. Heck i still might if it gets to 2$ today. All of my toy savings is tied up in this. That would be a net of 6500 bucks. That's stacks and a set of fenders!

    If you're all in, seriously, take your profit. You can always take out your original investment and let the profits ride it out if you really think they're going to weather this. I still think, long term, this is either going to 0, or it's going to bounce as a penny stock for a long time.

    My toy fund is all in. Not my retirement fund. I'm using money i have slowly set aside to buy an older 379 and restore it. It will make me cry to lose it, but it won't kill my financial stability.

    Closed at 1.85. My math says I'm up 4088 bucks. Watch it tank to 50 cents by 805 Monday.

    I feel like I'm back in The Devil's Den or StockCharts circa 1999.
