I've been at it for a year now. What I have decided is that the investment must be able to stand on its on legs. There's a lot of noise that things are about to blow up, moon, reach critical max, flywheel and lots of other busy words. But for this year, my focus is "What is it doing for me today?" If the game/investment/strategy isn't able to support itself with growth and dividends, then it's not for me. Ask me in a year, and I will let you know if I recouped my losses and ended with a profit.
