I've lost money on stocks as well, but last time I looked, Fairstar was not the only stock listed on the ASX.
That doesn't mean I don't believe in the stock; it's just that I'd much prefer the tax man to pay me for my error.
Venting might make the pain subside. Might even make you feel better. But is that going to make you a better investor? It will if you don't make the same mistake twice.
As I said to Kate, profits are made when you buy.
