You appear to be underwater but only for the moment.

Try to estimate your worth by the number of shares you hold and the future value, not the current value - which is expected to be very volatile.

A guiding principle could be : only invest in a company if you'd be comfortable not checking the share price everyday. What was the reason you bought CXO in the first place? Did you believe in the company's vision and did you consider how long it would take to prove up a resource?

If you bought for the sole purpose of making a quick return forgetting to ask yourself the key question - how much should I pay - and got burned, well, too bad. The market isn't forgiving and isn't for the faint hearted (and rightly HC shouldn't give you the solace you are looking for).

Incessant whining about the share price makes it difficult to follow threads and makes HC less useful for most of us.
